Nice. What kind of gains did you get?

Also, I'm debating on doing the independant fogs. Since I've got the gt, there's no easy way of doing it properly. I've read all the how-tos and I've realized it would be better to run all new wiring right to new plugs for the bulbs. I'm not willing to put a new switch in the car either. The best way for it to work would be installing a relay in with a wire from the parking lights. It would render the fog switch bezel inoperable, but I would much rather run the fogs with the parking lights and low power brake lights on. <sigh>
The shims on my front brakes were clicking when I started moving from 1st gear so I went into the dealer and they replaced the fronts for free at 22kGood to know I can now go to nearly 90k with these!
Now for story time:
Ordered my new racing wheels, for the second time, and saved a ton of money this time. I originally made the order with Wheels Next before reading their reviews and about $$% myself when I read them. I saw a press release saying they were being posted by disgruntled employees so I figured I'd let it play out as some were positive and some negative. Two weeks later I had yet to receive a shipment confirmation so I gave them a call and got bounced around to a few customer service reps, each time they thought I was a new caller so they weren't telling each other they were doing this (or they were messing with me), and they finally told me that my order or information was no where to be found in their system. I told them "This is great news! I don't want you having my information! Goodbye! (click)" I then proceeded to order the same wheels from a company I was referred to by a Mazdas247 member and they will be here next week. Finally!
Long story short.....Don't order anything from Wheels Next
Oh....I assumed since you said "first" when refering to your brake job that you were also the original owner
Muh bad
I ordered 2 sets from them. One set for my Protege 5 a few years ago and my first set for my speed 3. They have really, really crappy customer service. The first set for my speed 3 came in WAY off balance, and they charged me extra for a kit that I didn't order and the kit didn't even come with the wheels. I had to report them to the BBB to get them to pay to have them balanced here and refund me for the charges for that kit I didn't receive. And it's an act of congress to get a tracking # from them. Just stay on them. And if they don't deliver as promised- go to the BBB and they seem to respond pretty quick to that. I won't ever order from them again.
^ way to get 'er done!
Red Blur, what size tires are they? for stock wheels?
independent foglights on my gt....crappy cellphone pic alert!
6k xenons. thinking about overlays, but im gonna try to find a place that sells some pieces i can cut out on my own. i could probably find some yellow gels at a local camera place, then just get some window tint adhesive stuff or something that dries clear
and special thanks to lara for her quick replies when i asked for help
I have a GT as well and I found the modification to be pretty straightforward and easy. It took about 45 minutes from start to finish... the hardest (trickiest) part was having to fish the wires through the firewall. Other than that it was really easy. You still utilize the stock fog light stalk and can have them on/off anytime you want. Have you seen this walk-through? http://www.larawdesigns.com/Mazdaspeed3/IndependentFogsGT.pdf
