wow looks like you've been hard at it haha
Not much done here really .. AEM short ram, tuned, cleaning up and repainting stockers. Been looking around exhaust wise just not sure the route I'd like to go. How do you find the tokico's? how much lower? I'm not sure if I want to go any lower due to the wonderful winter conditions haha. Have you had much trouble?

toss up some pics if you can

 

[tjhynes12]

Well the tokico's are the just shocks and struts, that doesn't really affect your ride height .. just stiffer and less sway. Altough I am lookin' into lowering it with a set of tein lowering springs. (when i get the funds lol) and yeah i'll get some pics up in there when i get a chance, you have any pics?

 

[lanny709]

Yea I'm a little sketchy about lowering don't want to go ripping off bumpers lol
Oh and forgot the Apexcone 10K HID's haha

here's the thread of when the car came back from the body shop after an accident lol http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123731999

lanny709.. i think i have seen you a few times (goin down by topsail beach like a day or two ago lol) lol
My car has been lowered for almost a year now (but isn't being used for the winter... thats what my Avalanche is for )
it depends on how much you lower it...
mine is rated at like 1.6" drop... (but is lower than that) but i wouldn't suggest a 2" drop for around here

haha yes most likely was me I'm always down there with the girlfriend haha I thought that lowering would be a bit much with all the potholes around here. almost bottomed the car out on one the other day in CBS lol

 

[ChrisWinsor]
