New Member: 2008 Mazda3 True Red

[Pintozoz]

Hey guys,

Just joined the forum, thought I'd introduce myself.

Hailing from Miami, got a 2008 Mazda3. Nothing too special, not much work done on it, but still a damn fun car.

Cars actually dropped 2 inches from stock.

Those are Konig Bumps at 17". They're 205/40/17 that's why they look small, the wheel well is way too big for those tires/wheels. Will be getting 45's to cover the wheel gap.

Thanks man!

Are you postive that car is lowered? Even with 17's on a 2 inch drop would be way lower then that.

I measured from stock to these springs. 2". Why is that so hard to believe? Especially when I'm the one that's sure of it.

 

[xMazdax]

Because you dont look lowered at all. Even though youre on stock wheel height.

K. you know what I've done to the car. You're right.

Lol idk why you're getting mad, I'm not saying I know what's exactly done to your car, all I'm saying is you don't look like you have a 2 inch drop ACCORDING to the picture you posted.

Lol not mad. But yeah, it is two inch drop. Might not be noticeable in the pictures, but the difference is obvious in person.

What's your suspension setup?

Looks lowered to me

 

[Pintozoz]

What's your suspension setup?

I got Teins. Since it's my first Mazda and it's NA, didn't wanna go all out with coilovers.

Maybe if I get a speed later on, I'll go bigger.

 

[xMazdax]

Oh ok, Tein s techs?

 

[Pintozoz]

Oh ok, Tein s techs?

Indeed.
