Regardless of what springs you get, dropping this car with springs only will eventually blow out your shocks. If I were to ever go the "spring only" route I would go with a more conservative drop, like Cobb or Eibach. Still going to put more stress on the shocks, but not as quickly I would imagine. If you want that "slammed" look with only doing springs, well, you'll have to face the consequences of possibly blowing your shocks in the near future.

People blow the shocks with the stock springs, they are s*** by design.

isn't the 2nd car there allymazda3? I thought she was roadmagnet sponsored. in fact if I recall, she helped drive the development of the RM 1.25" drop springs.
edit: cali plate... nevermind. but here's RM's 1.25" drop, poor angle, I apologize.

No that's not AllyMazda3.
Forgot the dude's name... but it's a genuine speed3.

Are the road magnets for the ms3 or the regular 3?
I was trying to point out that the second picture is a speed3 and ally's is not
