My girlfriend's got an 04 Mazda 3 sedan. And here in Colorado there are tons of windy mountain roads that are a blast if you have a decent handling car. Since we've been together I've let her drive my WRX up the roads plenty of times.

The WRX has coilovers, 24mm adjustable front and rear sway bars, and 8.5" wide wheels. Needless to say, it handles like a dream.

I promised her I would start looking into suspension options for the Mazda to make it handle a little less like a monster truck around corners.

1) Do they make a good lowering spring package or coilover package for this car?
2) What are our sway bar options?
3) What is a good wheel offset for handling purposes?


Thanks in advance for any help.
