not a racer...SO.....

[curacer1]

for those who know anything about me know that i am a law enforcement officer. so street racing really isn't my idea of a good time. but don't get me wrong. i give mad props to fast cars, i have a sports car of my own if i do wanna go fast. ANYWAY, i am thinking of what would be good and new for the shows this spring for my car. i was searching around and found this
http://airbagit-store.com/product.asp?returnURL=default.asp&ID=80581
my car is still kind of my daily driver and i am very nice to when i am driving, does anyone know how long these kits will last if the driver drives normal. i would love to see my car drop low on demand with the german body kit i found. let me know what you think.
for those who know my car domain site (m3hoss). i will have the pics of the rear suicide doors up soon

if you are a law enforcement officer, i don't see the logic in your sig.

Hmm..I think you would be better off to get a coilover setup that's sturdy, improves handling and looks at the same time and way more functional than an airbag kit. Granted the adjustability is harder w/ the coilovers. I think the airbag kits won't last that long on a daily driven vehicle..especially if you need the car to endure harsh winters. Stuff can rip the bags, maintenance might be higher than expected because there are more moving parts and more parts to break down. These are my thoughts.

Can I see pics of your suicide doors?? please! thx

Trust Me, The Only Thing That Car Will See In The Snow Is My Garage, And Sorry, I Have Uploaded The Pics For The Doors Yet, I Am A Retard With Computers, My Girl Has To Do It

"curacer1" followed by "not a racer"

LOL. don't get me wrong man, no offense intended. i just thought it was odd, and then prodigy noticed the racer and no racer thing. Just having fun. Good luck with your car.

arn't the coilover kits harder to adjust than the air ride, i have a truck i can drive as a daily driver if need be

 

[Prodigy]

coilover kits are 1000x cheaper and have 1000x better improvement in handling and they have a 1000x rougher ride.

the complete air-bag kit will weigh a ton more.. cost more.. and take away what little space we have in our cars.

 

[curacer1]

where do you get coilovers for the mazda 3

 

[FunkyBuddha]

TEIN might have some made available already.

Yes I did mention that coilovers are harder to adjust but it's less maintenance than an airbag system.

 

[curacer1]

searching, no luck yet, there is all kinds of stuff out for proteges

 

[Kooldino]

Go with the airbag kit if you don't mind it diminishing your handling.

 

[curacer1]

i don't have a problem with losing handling, if i want to go fast i will use my other car or truck. i just want the air bags to last more than 2 months

listen, i originally put this link on here, and i totally think u should get air ride, and to whats his nutts about more sturdy, wtf is sturdy supposed to mean? you think that when wind blows a car with air ride it sways with it? idiot..

also, 1400 for air ride is cheap, compared to some sets of coilovers, tell me if hes never going to race, why would it matter....

 

[Aricjm15]

go to your local mazda dealer and ask for the new mazdaspeed catalog, there is a whole crapload of fancy new stuff for the 3, including coilovers

 

[tgv121281]

yeah but dont forget that the mazdaspeed coilovers are 2k plus shipping......and btw Tein doesnt have coilovers for the 3 now
