Mazdaspeed springs on MS3

Settled maybe a touch. I would have taken pictures but didn't bring a camera. It's a noticable difference.
Here are some previous pictures.
I'd wager my car is about 3/4s to an inch higher. Keep in mind our cars are lower from the factory. My car looks like a regular 3 with regular lowering springs, if that makes sense.
jbiird's car actually tucks in the rear. Mine does not

Can't tell from those pics but are you getting an even drop w/ the MS springs? It looks like the gap in the front might be a bit bigger, but it might just be the camera angle.

Thank you man, I have been trying to tell ppl that for a while now and everyone seems to think the back is lower anyway.
And after seeing swamps car next to mine, it is a clear difference, makes me happy about my decision to get roadmagnets. That being said, these springs are designed for two different things. Roadmagnet clearly likes their springs to have a noticably lowered stance, while mazdaspeed went for the more subtle but still agressive look. Both of these springs will improve handling but will definitely give different results.

sweet...that drop is perfect!
Can you please post how much the springs cost and what you paid for install? I'd like to do this as well... definately don't want coil overs as that is just overkill IMO for anything not going to the track/autocross. But I would like to know what I'd be looking at $$$$-wise to do this... car looks very nice.
I love the black wheels on red... I have a red one as well... thinking of powdercoating my stock wheels black.

They are around 380 shipped from Ron Tonkin and come with camber plates. (fancy red anodized ones)
Installation is about 5 hours from the dealer factoring in the camber plates. Add alignment and you're up there cash wise.
I had the dealer do it because I'm ******* rich. Just kidding, I just wanted it done right and keep my warrantly all fat and happy.

I have never owned a camber kit and don't plan on putting one on here. Maybe swamp can back me up here since he saw the car now too, but I really don't think its necesary, even tho the car is pretty low.
I will say tho, once the final versions of the springs are on, I will be getting the car alligned and then make my final decision if I need a camber kit or not.
