sprint springs? How much of a drop? 2''?

How does JG treat customers, in terms of warranty work, who install aftermarket components on their vehicles? I know they are involved in some motorsports, just wondering what approach they take to modified vehicles.

Do you have the blue headlights? if so where did you get them from?

Do you have the blue headlights? if so where did you get them from?

any H7 bulbs will work for our car.
ebay is best place to find one, and be sure to get low wattage bulbs. High wattage(any watts > 55watts) might cause damages(such as burn) on your headlights or your socket assembly.
get silverstar(OSRAM) bulbs from www.powerbulbs.com.
they produce 55watts and produces nice white bluish lights

wscottl: Well since I work for the dealership and I'm friends w/ the Mazda service advisor he won't void my warranty since I started installing the aftermarket parts.

gjmoreo: Yes they are a 2"drop.

ChickenSoup: They are awesome springs for the money. They ride exceptionally well to for being a lower drop and not being a very harsh ride.

Don'tDrinkMyWate: I purchsaed them from a seller on ebay. I have them in the low beams and fogs as well but there is a light dispersing shield in front of the low beam bulbs that block light from shadowing around the housing like the high beams.

How is te ride compared to ..SPOOL or RACING BEAT?

 

[2k2silvermp5]

Well, JAJE, one of the turbo p5 members has the spool springs on his P5. I had the chance to ride in his car right after he lowered it. He wasn't looking for a really comfortable ride because he road races it. It was stiff but gret handling. I haven't road in a MP3 to see what they ride like, because comparing racing beat springs to spool springs really isn't apple to apples, more like apples to oranges.The spool's lowered the car roughly 2" and racing beat are 3/4". My Sprints ride very comparable to stock. I work w/ a guy here at the dealership who has an 03 w/ stock suspension, drove his 1st then drove my on the same rad and the ride was excellent considering the drop was 2" lower then stock.

 

[gjmoreo]

with that much of a drop you would think your ride would be stiffer then stock ... that's what I would want. TIGHT AND STIFF
(BRB, gotta go rub one out)

kay ... I'm back ... so, NAM SAYING?

 

[2k2silvermp5]

They are really tight around corners but give me a really awesome daily driver ride and that's what I'm looking for.

i like the shifter too, looks neat

Yeah the shift knob I got through our parts dept here at the dealership. I really disliked the 02 style shift knob, so I got the mazda6 manual knob. Very comfortable.
