Sprint springs
In the pic with rota's. and currently now with mp3 wheels.
Sprint Lowering Springs in Front.
V-spec Coilovers in Back.
Looks and no noises with Stock mp3 wheels and rota's.
I had the skunk2 coilovers before. they suck. they look great and go really low. but they squeaked and poped and trebile noises in the front suspension. It wasn't the clunk. So I dealed with it for about 8-9 months. I now have Sprint Lowering Springs. The front was a nice drop with the stock mp3 wheels with 205/40/17 kumho 711's. The back was not low enough. So I put some V-spec coilovers on the back to even it out. I don't know what V-spec is. i got them used and they work great in the back. I didn't try in the front because the sprint springs are working great and NO noises. the noise was just horrible and I triple checked and did the suspension about 5 times and never fixed it and it was done right with skunk2 but they still made noise. When I put the sprint lowering springs in back it looked like I lowered it in the front and not in the back and I left it like that for about 1 month and they never settled down any.

rota slips sold
I sold the Rota slipstreams that are in the pic. I have the stock mp3 wheels back on now. I will be getting something else hopefully soon, but act clutch, fidanza alum. flywheel, mazdaspeed LSD and gears, AWR mounts all set me back a bit. I have had it up and running about 1 month now from all these parts. The the 16 inch looked to small on the car. It looks pretty good in pics, but most times it looks to small because on the polished lip and rota's gunmetal is kindof dark. I want to get some gram lights or volks either in gold or bronze.
