FORGED MAZDASPEED 3 need your advice and opinions

[stars.eg6]

hope you guys were'nt thinking forged internals. well i finally got around to putting my te37's on and i was wondering what you guys suggest for my spring setup. ive narrowed it down to the mazdaspeed springs and eibach pro kit. which do you guys think i would be better off with. your opinion matters. i used to roll on coilovers on my msp but i want to just use springs this time. here is a picture of my old msp for those who dont know me which is probably everybody haha but yea.. i need some friends.

I have these springs and love them. The prokit isnt designed for the speed3, its designed for the regular 3, so that would not be ideal. The mazdaspeed springs are not as agressive of a drop as the roadmagnet, but still look nice.

Mmmm, TE's. Ran them on my s2000 for a little while and really liked them. Really clean, good job!

As for springs, H&R is another choice that has a speed3 specific application.

yea ive thought about the roadmagnets and the h&r's because i love how agressive these cars look lowered but my te37s came off of my s2k so eventhough the offset is a high enough number to run, they have a staggered offset so i dont want the rears to rub too much if any at all.

Another S2k owner? Sweet! So the rears are 8.5 +63??

yeah whats the offset on the rears. My car is +48 all around 18x8 and it doesnt rub anywhere...

if the offset is too much in the back, i would go with the mazdaspeed springs because they are a subtle drop but still toughen up the stance of the car

How do you know H&R is specific to mazdaspeed3? I'm leaning towards H&R compare to eibach or roadmagnet. I heard rubs and blown shocks with the latter two. I havent heard anything bad about H&R...yet.
