lower height of racing beat springs for P5 '03?
 
Can anyone tell me what the lowering height is on the MazdaSpeed Racing Beat Springs, any photos would be great, also any of you who may read this that are lowered with different springs I would love to see pictures, and know what you used, I am trying to get a an idea of what will give me the look and ride I am wanting. Thank you all... Zorch66:p

i just got Eibach Pro-kits and they look the same as Funky Budda's (even the same color car lol) but i believe the racing beat springs only lower it an inch, while the eibachs and H&R's are closer to an inch and a half

the racing beats will be a little higher then the car pictured, (i suggest u just go with eibachs or h&r)

I put a set of Racing beat springs on my '01 Sedan. It lowered it about an inch all around. It looks good, when I put on 17" wheels 45 tires it will look good.

It seems to handle a little better as well. I think 1" lowering looks good on our cars.

Yes, but I got mine through Mazda

The rear was about 45 min total, everything from taking the wheels on and off.

The front was a little harder, it took about an hour 1/2 w/ another person, I didn't drop the whole cradle just loosened it.

padanky, how's the handling w/ the new suspension? i'm understanding you basically have the same susp as the MSP now?

i'm looking at that setup if i decide to go to STS since there is a dearth of options out there. also...P/N's? i only have the P/N's from the MP3 parts (Mazda Motorsports hasn't updated their catalogs to '03 yet).

thanks!

The suspension is nice and stiff. Corners great! 3/4 inch drop after it settles.
