Hey got the eibachs put on about 2 weeks ago handling is much improved with less body roll and it really filled the wheel gaps here are a few pics. Also I added a 6000 K hid fog light conversion kit and blacked out the mazdaspeed letters in the back and the front and rear mazda emblems (didn't like the crome)

Looks good. I like the blackout symbol.

Yes the car does look sooo much better with a drop. Infact 2days ago I went to the mall and parked 2 cars away from a stock Ms6 black as well and when walking back to my car and seeing both fronts mine looked so much meaner! The ride is a tad stiffer than stock but not hard to live with on a daily basis. I ma very happy with these springs just have to be really careful with scarping and bottoming out in driveways and certain areas. I just needed wider 18" (no rubbing thus far and I didn't roll the fenders either ) and I was some rear /front sway bars

That definitely looks sick, how much of a drop was it? Does the car handle better when cornering? And, I know that SU sells blacked out Mazda symbols, but where did you find the MAZDASPEED letters blacked out?

That there are 2 sets of springs for this car the Sportlines and the Track I got the sportlines 2 " drop all around Vs 1.3 front & 1.7 rear. I pmd u on how I blacked out all the emblems and lettering
Handling is way better people say these are not made for the Ms6 but that's B.S Eibach is one of the biggest sping companies in the world I spoke to them and they said these are fine for the car and that they would not certify these springs for the car without proper testing there much better than stock and it's not a uncomy ride either $200 shipped can't go wrong

$5.00 for a can of spraypaint VS friggin 69.99 for street unit to do it for you.. and that way you get all the emblems done, not just the two mazda symbols.

But in order for the spraypaint on the letters and symbols not to dull or chip away you must sand and prime, right. I'm not exactly familiar with painting and priming. That is why I suggested buying the symbols already painted.

yeah you gotta do a little sanding, but for the rear badges you don't have to worry too much about chipping. My rear badges have been black for a year or so and it's holding up well, no clearcoat or anything. I just sanded lightly and used krylon fusion (paint made for plastics). For the front emblem I'd recommend some clearcoat on top of that though.

mmmm.....I'll have to look into these things more when I get my car from Japan. I wouldn't know the first thing about how to paint or do any autobody work. With your rear symbols did you sand then paint or just spray paint over the chrome.
