Now let's see those white ms3!

What made it a nightmare?

The drop made it nearly impossible to get anywhere (well, I eventually raised the car up... but bleh).

SOMETHING was always breaking on them as well. The bracket that holds the end link kept hitting the inner portion of my rim (common problem on the BC Racing Coilovers) and I'd have to keep bending it back. The end links kept breaking too... probably because the bracket kept bending back and hitting the wheel. It was just a nightmare. LOL.

When I do go the coilover route again I'll be getting Mazdaspeed coilovers.

I've never had a car lowered, but with ground effects and whatnot. Having to take EVERY entrance at an angle, gets a little old after a while not being able to lift the car just using normal equipment. Now you have woodshop class making those platforms to lift the car high enough to finally lift it.

Then again, the car would probably turn in that much better with lowering springs.

Damn, really? Sorry to hear that. I got mine used and they work just fine. All I had to do was bend the bracket that holds the ABS line a little to the back of the wheel won't hit it.

Which Hella horns are those? I'm thinking about putting some on my car as well once I found the stock horns cant be heard over a Harley.
 
wow, $64, not bad. How hard is the install?

Very easy! It honestly takes no time at all. They come with very easy to understand wiring instructions as well.

I'll try to get a few sound clips of the horns so you can hear them. ^_^

It's the Euro version of the MS3 (the Mazda 3 MPS) and it has different bumper and lighting requirements for the Euro market, therefore it's a little different. The rear bumpers are shorter, the front bumpers have headlight washers, and there is a rear-facing red foglight. The spoilers are also different. The MPS just has the spoiler from the regular 3 hatch (with the option of an "Aero kit" or something like that that replaces the spoiler with the US spec spoiler and replaces the mirrors with BMW M3-style mirrors, IIRC)...
