I figure it's way past time to put together a thread containing pictures of all the various aftermarket suspension setups on all the MSPs around here -- springs and coilovers and anything else -- since there are countless threads started in this subforum revolving around the 'what lowering spring should I get?' concept. And now, rather than try to hunt through a bazillion posts, people can just come to this Sticky to find examples and ideas -- and some eye candy. 
So post up pics and details of YOUR suspension setups! Please make sure to include all pertinent info -- what kind of springs/coilovers, struts, wheel sizes, wheel offsets, tire sizes, wheel spacers, etc.
Additional (older) info can be found here: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=68010
My own contribution ..
Back in 2005: on stuck struts, Tein S-Tech springs, and 18" wheels with 35 series tires; the springs had JUST been installed, so they weren't fully settled.
A few months later, with springs settled (and a few other adjustments
).
Look at the obscene rake, the back end looks like it's floating on hot air balloons, barf. And don't laugh at my tail lights, it was a phase!!
The Tein S-Tech springs didn't last very long, I couldn't stand the rake; swapped 'em out for Tokiko Illumina struts and Ground Control coilover sleeves.
My final setup, and favorite by far: Tokiko Illumina struts and Progress springs.
Just installed, not settled:
Settled:
Also, the pic in my sig is from this same suspension setup.
