[gsxr75001]

did you buy these already or just found out that they were for sale

[MS3_Mafia]

I can't wait to see an MS3 with some Sportlines on!!

[jflash]

i just looked a summit and i dont see them?

[JimmyMac]

Only kit I found was the Pro kit which would not ship til maybe 4/1... Anyone have any drop info on these?

[jflash]

if the pro kit and mazdaspeed springs are the same again, then it will be a 15mm drop with a 30%increase in spring rate.

here is site I'm ordering tomorrow!!!

[JimmyMac]

Estimated ship 3/7.... I dunno... sounds tooo tempting for me!! Aren't the sportline progressive rate? That's what I'm looking for... Hmmmmm

I guess I'd have to order a rear camber link set separate..

[Mspeed3]

yah and with about a 1.8 inch drop which is probably closer to 2 inch. I'll install and have a local shop align. It might not be an aggressive of enough drop to need a camber kit. It's not like a 5 inch honda drop

[jflash]

the drops will probably be a little less as the speed3 is .5in lower than a reg 3.
there isnt much wheel gap as is. i cant see lowering it 2 in.(dunno)

i think i will call eibach tomorrow to find out.

Eibach website AND tirerack.com don't have any real info on these yet. They are listed on the Eibach website, but the info on drop and spring rate is blank still.
Tirerack is a direct partner/distributor for Eibach... I'll wait until these are listed on their site before I give someone money.

Summit seems to keep pushing back their listed ship date.

On a related note, I called H&R today to inquire about their sport springs for the speed3 that have been listed on their website for quite some time now.
The girl I spoke with said they were still in the R&D stage and that they would be out sometime this year. Hopefully Eibach is a little closer than that to getting their springs released. I'll pretty much go with whatever company gets them released first. Both are definitely reputable spring manufacturers.

Sad thing is the MazdaSpeed spring kit is only a 15mm drop. And they are out now. I would of jumped on those if it was a 1.5inch drop. But I can wait.... I just wanna get rid of the huge front wheel gap.

hopefully got a deal in the making to take my car to RoadMagnet.com headquarters for them to make a prototype set of springs for the speed3, i will have more details after this weekend.

huge wheel gap? there was only about a fingers difference between my 06 3 with the pro kit and the speed3.

[JimmyMac]

Well, to me... this is huge wheel gap. I can't see how the MazdaSpeed MS3 spring kit with 15mm drop will make too much difference.... At least for me.
