Reason I ask is because I have two questions:

1. It seems to me that the fronts do not go low enough. The rears look fine, but it just seems that the fronts are very high for "coilovers".
2. In the rear, there's a LOT of noise. Mainly like metal clanking and what not. Is this because both the rear shock and rear springs are on the lowest setting? As in, there's too much play in the spring area?

This is on a 2008 Mazdaspeed3. I've done eibach sportlines on a 2006 Mazda3, and it never made any noises. They seemed to be lower in front as well.

Any insight on this would be great. I've messed with a lot of cars in my lifetime, and this one just seems odd.
Here's a pic of the rear drop BTW, forgive the shitty iPhone pix, I was in a hurry.



I'll try to post pix of the way the rear is installed.

I DONT KNOW THAT PERTICULAR ONE BUT ... what do you have the dampening set to? and try loosening the spring setting if possable most can drop rather easy take the hole spring setting down

after a few months, I'm sad to report that these Ksports suck ***. Not firm enough or low enough for my tastes. Will be looking into some DG-5's as these seem to solve both problems.
