1991 Mazda 323 SE
Hi, I've had my 323 for almost two years now and it's been a good commuter car. Now I'm wanting to do a little bit to it. I don't want to make it fast (that isn't going to happen lol) rather I want to keep the motor the same (with the 42 mpg I can get) and do a little footwork with it. What can I do to it to make it handle better? Does anybody have any experience with modifying the 90's 323's? My ideas are lowering springs (from Tri-Point Engineering), and tower braces (from CorkSport). I've also seen some "Floor braces" on Ebay and I didn't know if anybody knew if they're any good...(little skeptical when it comes to Ebay)?

I also want to slightly modify the exterior but not for looks. I want an air dam on the front to decrease drag underneath the car and side skirts for the rear wheels, all so I can get better gas mileage.

So basically I want a fuel sipper that can take corners quick. Any suggestions? Thank You!
