Photohacked an image I found online to sum up what ill be doing once Street Unit wraps up testing on the BC coilovers...lemme know what you guys think.

The wheels i ordered are 18x8 with a 48mm offset. The BCs are fully adjustable struts/shocks with adjustable front camber plates.

At home waiting are Hotchkis Sway Bars, MS Camber kit and Corksport Inserts....come on Street Unit!! Give me the greeen light already!

Thanks for the input fellas

I'm more concerned with the BC coilovers you speak of? I noticed on another site they were for sell but I didn't think they came with the adjustable pillow mounts? So the BC coilover that ********** will sell will have adjustable camber plates available? I'm looking into whether or not to get coilovers and the BC seems like the best option out there as far as price, what was holding me back was no camber plates though.

I know the other site you mention...he doesnt know s***. point blank. The mazda 3 kit that BC makes (origninally overseas as this is where BC is located, Taiwan to be exact) comes with the adjustable camber kit. The guys I have been dealin with have also confirmed this with a pic of the actual Mazda 3 Unit. The problem with the camber plates is the US Spec 3 and speed3 have a top hat just over the front struts that will not allow the allens to be adjusted. They are doing test fitting now to see what can be done...this is what i am waiting on. I would prefer Teins however am growing impatient now that wheels and all are ready to go on..and for the price and amount of adjustability...you just cant beat the BCs. Look them up for the Evos and STIs...those guys aparently have been VERY satisfied.

Hope this helps

yea i got your msg, i'll see how much extra funds i have so i can do the body work, but as of right now :( tingz looking sticky
 
Those are sexy! I suppose I will be patient and wait for the R&D to finish on the BC's. I had them on my STI after a set of TEIN's and they performed just as well but for less $$$. Feel free to throw in a good word with the people your workin with on your coilovers to get me a discount... Seriously though, tell them to get to movin cause I'm gettin antsy considering my wheels are en-route!
 
They are going as fast as they can...im hopin to hear back from them on thursday after they install on a 3. Ill let you know

btw...glad to know you have dealt with them before...cant wait to get a set and slap em on ;)
 
I like them! I think they will look perfect on the Speed. My only gripe with these wheels is that they are so expensive and could be lighter for what you pay. But congrates! I cant wait to see them!

I know but i dont mind...just like i dont mind you all not getting em too! lmaoo...im only kidding ;)
 
Testing is done. SU sent me pics today of the kit installed on a 3. There are no clearance issues however becuase of the top hat you will not be able to adjust the camber unless a) you plasma cut off the top hat(its just sheet metal) or b) drill a hole through the top hat to access the allen bolts...either way im ordering my set first thing tomorrow. Pics are at work, ill put em tomorrow.
