Whao, sexy. What suspension are you on? Or is that a secret haha.

 

[Tjay]

Ooopps, sorry I forgot to mention. It's just a regular mazda3 eibach sportline.

Sick P5 btw. I never got a chance to work on mine. I spend it all to my 323 and now onto my new toy

Thanks!

 

[L8R]

Thanks dude, any plans for rims? I think it looks nice as is right now.

 

[Tjay]

I didn't really like the rims before. I actually hated how it looks but after installing the springs on Saturday. 99% of the people that saw it in person told me to keep the rims. I guess I'll just use the money for IC

 

[mazpro]

very nice, I live dropped MS3s.

I agree with the rims, once the car is lowered, the rims look pretty good on the car.

 

[knowledge007]

What else did you change? How many inches did you drop the car?

 

[Tjay]

1.8-2.0" drop. please see sig. thx!

Those springs really make it look "hunkered down" and ready for some high speed runs...Nice stance! (2thumbs)

 

[Equinox]

I like it as well, nice color too ;>

Your car looks great, but I could never go with a Eibach Sportline kit in my neck of the woods. I have in the past and once they settle another .5" - .75" your going to be mowing the roads. For your sake I hope your roads are nice. You stated they are regular 3 springs, to my understanding the Speed3's are different. Also your taking a risk with those springs if there made for a regular 3; the load rate will be different to say the least. I wish you well.

Thanks guys!

yeah, Equinox! I like your car color too

Actually this is more like trial and error. I could not wait for the springs to come out and wanted to see how the Eibach m3 would work. If you look at the Eibach site. The ms6 and the mazda 6 uses the same springs even if they have totally different weight.

The car is pretty low and I want to try the pro-kit or sprint aswell. We'll see

(cool) That's way more of risk than I would take, but have fun!

Looks Great! Get that baby tinted!!

wow, i didnt know speed3's could go any lower than mine (roadmagnets lowered mine 1.1"). Im hoping that the 1.8" lowered is from the regular 3 height not the speed3 height. 1.8" would be practicly on the ground from the speed3 stock height.

Yeah, well here's what my observation is. Since the ms3 is about 300lbs heavier than the m3 the 1.8 drop for m3 will drop the ms3 to about 2.1" and then add about .5 for it to settle. So I'd say about 2.6" drop but is just my guesstimate. The reason why I'm testing the springs is because I want a ride where it's comfy (like stock) but lower than the mazdaspeed springs (not stock mazdaspeed) and the front lower than the back but by not much like the TEINS springs. Remember all the extra weight that we have on the speed3 is in the front so Imagine what would happen if we use the TEINS?

I believe all Eibachs are lower in the back (by a little) than the front. So, I decided to go with Eibachs since speed3 is heavier in the front. This should compinsate. I am now going to try the pro-kit maybe next week I'll order it.

I know it's crazy doing the trial and error but how many manufacturers do we have for speed3? I don't like full coilvers, I've had them on a different cars and they are stiff even if you only lower your car by .5" it is still stiff bcoz of the spring rate. I'm doing this to help other aswell. Noone really tried to help me on my search so I'm doing it and help some of the guys here!

Hey man,

I have been looking for you! I want your falken hanabi's for my p5 and use it for ms3 when I go to the track. Pm me with the specs on the wheels and tires and your drop too.

Thanks!

Do the speed3's come with some quality performance struts(like the MSP's Tokico's)?? Hopefully those springs don't beet up your stock struts to much??
