Also NTIMD8R what kinda rubber are you running? Are they performance tires or just all seasons? I just had kumho ecsta lx platinums installed (grand touring all season) and for winter I have bridgestone blizzaks.
NTIMD8R the RX8 wheels look so sexy on a 3, they should have put them on stock. Which tires are cupped? And what caused it? Have you noticed any extra or uneven wear on the tires from the racing beat sways? The car looks great also.
So I finally got my Racing Beat Swaybars and endlinks. I also picked up a set of replacement rear endlinks intended for the mazda speed 3 off of a parts website. $30 a piece is much cheaper than the $90 a piece mazda wants for almost identical parts. I won't be putting these on for a week or so yet, but I want to know how others have put their cars up to install these. I have a floor jack, and jack stands, but I don't know where to jack the car up and where to put the jack stands. On my previous cars there was alway some frame rail or something I could jack the car up with, but on the mazda it doesn't appear to have a decent lift point other than the jack points provided for changing the wheels/tires.
Thanks in advance,
Josh
Does anyone know if there is a guide anywhere to install both front and rear swaybars? I have been reading the directions from racingbeat and would like some pics to go with it.
Thanks,
Josh
Does anyone know of stiffer springs for the 3 that do not change the ride height? One of my friends recommended stiffer springs to enhance the ride a little more, but I can't find anything that does not drop the car at all.
