Springs..

[boosted3]

The lowdown:
Speed3
18x7.5
Stock tire
44mm offset.


I'm looking for a set of lowering springs and would like to know what drop the manufacturers offer, and how low should I be able to go without rubbing tire.

I'm hoping for a 1.3-1.5.

thanks..

I think H&R makes some pretty good springs for our cars.. prolly about $200 something or so..

road magnet seems to be a good company. Not sure where you are located by they are made in DE or NJ I believe. I think the overall drop is right where you are looking to be.

road magnet's drop might be lower than what you are looking for. i recommend H&Rs.

I got H&R and it sits pretty fine. only 1 finger width is left in the back and 2 finger width in the front and my fingers are sort of skinny. One thing u have to look out for though is u have to change the shocks too cause i dont think the stock shocks can handle it unless u really baby ur car and avoid every potholes and bumps. I think I'm leaking oil from shocks. I'm in the market for shocks that can handle the drop. Anybody have any suggestions what shocks i should go for?

shouldn't you have more of a drop in the front than in the back?

made in baltimore, very good springs, but yes, the drop is fairly low compaired to the mazdaspeed springs

exactly, but with stock springs ms3 has more wheelgap on the front than on the back. hr spring front= 1.4 drop rear=1.3.....0.1 of a dfifference didnt make the front lower than the back after the hr springs install.
