Anyone have a suggestions on a good set of lowering springs for my MS3?Im not made of money over here either so price matters.:)
Thanks,Shark
Roadmagnet, Cobb, and H&R look to be the least expensive at around $250 a set.

I don't have any of these so don't know how they compare.

I have the RoadMagnets installed on the car and love them. Drop is more than Cobb springs, but not as much as H&R. Look and feel great.

I was looking through your past posts, but didn't come across pics of how the car looks with the RoadMagnets. Any chance to catch a glimpse at your set up?

i'm really torn on this right now also. mazda ones are nice because they wont mess wtih any possible warranty problems, include camber links, but they are also expensive and only drop .5". Cobb, roadmagnets and H&R all look about the same, some with a little more drop than the others. They all seem to cost around the same too. It seems like cobb may have put more time/research into them which makes me attracted to them, but i dont really know. I plan to go with 7.5" wide wheel with 225 tires, so all of them should work for me I think...I just can't decide :(

I'm TELLING U, GO WITH THE PRO-KIT U WONT BE DISSAPOINTED!!! And when I dropped mine I didn't need a new set of camber links, cuz the drop is only 1.2"...and they're somewhat affordable, so I don't see how u could go wrong!?!?

I've had it lowered for 3 weeks now, so as for tire wear I have no clue if it has changed any...
PEACE>>>
