post pics of your P5 w/Wheels and suspension

H&R Springs, MazdaSpeed Racing Harts

Would love to see more pics of this car on the H&R's
This looks to be like the drop I'm wanting. I hope the front is lower!!!!

 

[MTV]

The H&R's give the car a 1.3'' drop all around. I can fit one finger in perfectly straight in the front and one finger on a slight angle in the rear. So the rear is slightly lower to be honest.

The picture above makes it look like there is more wheel gap than there is, it's just the angle of the photo. There's less. So the front is basically like what you see in the photo

Well, they're on their way. Just order a set of Rota D2's w/ neo gen's and the Tanabe DF210's. I'll throw them on and take some snaps as soon as they come in. Now... for a sway bar

Well, me and the wife are expecting our first little one so the 2-seater Miata had to go.... This is what we got. It's a 2003 Mazda Protege5 w/ 20k miles on her. I'm very happy w/ it... even more than I figured I would be... I'm really starting to like Mazda's even though I was once a Honda-fanboy. We got her about a month ago and so far I've put on some Tanabe DF210 springs and one 17x7.5 Rota D2's wrapped in 215/40 Neo Gen's with +48 offset... and it still rubbed. Threw a coat of wax on her today and rolled the rear fenders. It came w/ a Magnaflow cat-back on her that sounds pretty good to me. Probably the ol' ricar coming out in me. Anyways, here's the pics of the Short-bus!!!!

guys, I'm having a huge ordeal. I want a spring that's going to give me almost no front fenderwell gap and just a little in the rear. So far it's between the Tein S-tech's and the Tanabe DF210's. But it seems like every p5 I see sits at different heights. Even if they have the exact same spring setups. Anyways, here is tanabe's pic off their site and this is how I want mine to sit. So, I guess I'm up for suggestions as of right now.... Just don't want coil-overs.

This is mine on stockers w/the TEIN S-Techs!

Might I suggest some 17" Enkei OR52 Anthracite (black finish) rims with skunk2 lowering springs 2.0/1.5 for a more aggressive look. That would be sick on a black MP5

I'm not exactly sure.. (lol!) I bought it from my friend, he says that it's not DGM, he said that it's from Japan.. He had told me that Japanese CF has a lot more tighter weaves than American.. lol

What kind of springs?

Suspension is Tokico Illuminas struts and springs.. It came all in one box.. (I liked the drop...) LOL

yea now that i look at it again, it actually kinda looks like the dgm fiberglass

 

[justanothermp5]

oh no wonder it looked weird, that weave is really close together
makes it look sorta gray and stick out from everything else lol

What? i don't know, i just really liked it..

 

[aMaff]

I'm not laughing at the grille; I can't even see the pics because photobucket's blocked at work. I'm just laughing at the 'japanese CF weave being tighter than the US weave' part

 

[EVADE]

its a different style of carbon weave, but Japan mostly uses that style. Such as for Spoon and MintBlue c/f parts.

EXACTLY what i was told..

now you need to get the matching hood from MintBlue which cost like a $1000=)
