this was on wednesday right before the south florida mazdaspeed 6 meet. I have to wait until it settles; but so far it look good. there is much less body roll.
here are some pics, I'll take more once it settles. before and after.

yes it is 1.2 inch, I didn't want it too low, just low enough to make the wheels fit the car better. the front is a little lower than the back which makes the car look mean.

I contacted tanabe and they wouldn't give me an answer as to whether their springs supported the MS6. Are those just the regular 6 springs?

Tanabe GF's and NF's are designed for the regular 6.

looks ill be ordering tanabes when within the next week and a half i guess

i was gonna go with racing beats, but 3/4 of an inch isnt much of a drop to just buy the springs, and i cant afford the sway bar kit, so i decided on the tanabes.

cant wait

im giddy now

quick question guys

i'm looking at getting some lowering springs for my 6i..i can't decide between megan racing or the tanabe gf210's. i would be keeping my stock struts.
so my question is...it sounds like the tanabe's dont ride on the bump stops, would the megans since they drop lower?

thanks in advance for the info
