Ok folks, whats ya'll opinion on dropping the P5's? Mazda puts out lowering springs that supposively drops the car 3/4". Eibach puts out 1.4-1.2 lowering springs. Who's done what to their suspension and what was the result? Did it affect your bumper to bumper warranty?

btw I have a 2003 P5 vivid yellow:D

hello Ref and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to our Club. There are TWO BIG fridge'S in the corner with anything you can think of in them...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have.

make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom don't care....and take it easy.

oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!

we have a whole forum on Suspension mods and you can get all the info you want over there....which is where this thread will be moving momentarily..... as for the warranty question....yes and no...the only part of the warranty it will effect is that of your suspension....IF the springs are the cause of a failure of some sort...then its not covered. otherwise it is.

lowered with eibachs, eibachs will actually give you a little more than 1.5" drop, maybe around 1.8-1.9" after it sets
