Need more side pics to determine slammed-ness. Doesn't look like you're tucking tire in the rear, but looks pretty good

Hammer/grind off the old spring seat on those struts and you can get another inch of drop.

PS the car looks sick in person. I enjoyed seeing it at OCC.

 

[EGTT91]

Well, because I do alot of sidework and constantly have a ~150lb toolbox/ jacks/jackstands in the trunk. I left a minimal wheel gap in back so that when its weighed down it sits pretty level, rather than have the ass dragging look goin on lol

up front I can go down maybe another half inch before hitting the stock spring seat, and out back maybe an inch. As it sits now I cant get my foot under the front mudflaps and they constantly drag on speedbumps lol

And thanks for the compliment, I really loved your car.. the rims look greatt

sub. Illumina's or just pay for Yellowspeed Coilovers? for my p5.

 

[YELLOWMAZDAPR5]

99, are you wanting to slam your car? If so go with bc's.

*I'm not running the 2nd tires. The first set is what I'm running on my stock wheels. This is to show a real comparison to different sized tires*

Just for clarification for those that are used to 3rd gen Proteges/Mazda 3's, the BG is super body low. So while it looks like he has decent clearance from the photos he has shown, the subframes/oil pan are very close to the ground. On anything less than 16's you can actually have wheel gap, and be <2in from the ground on the bottom.

EG can you please do a floor level shot with a pop can next to the side? I think your shots gave it a look of a lot of gap cause of the shadows

 

[99ProtegeKV]

YELLOW- I wasnt planning to completely slam it. im not sure. i just want a nice, wheelgapless fitment lol the BC's are the best for slamming im assuming?

Previous shot from florida

 

[slideshow240]

flares ftw

Will do, for now heres a pic of my mudflap to small speedbump relationship. Just for reference this is one of those tiny speed bumps that most pple wouldnt even slow down for in a stock suspension vehicle. and on level pavement I cant put my sneaker under the mudflap

 

[INeedMoarLow]

Awesome eg!
Familia my friend the flares are nice but now there's a big gap in the rear:/ do you have spacers on?

 

[FamiliaSpeed03]

Yea I can't put to close to the flare or it'll crack
