im gonna have to go back to were i took these pics and take 'em again...
they came out rather blurey....

i think i'll take my mom's tripod next time.....

anyways, tell my what ya think!!!!!!

Are there supposed to be pics there? I don't see anything ..

Sweet, slammin' red x's ;)

dammit.. hold on.. i'll fix it...

Got it!! Looks sweet, awesome drop!!!!

Just needs a wing now. A nice subtle stock wing ..

Nice, looks much better lowered ... I'm sure it handles better too. Enjoy!

check to make sure the sturts are reassembled in the correct order. I did this on a friends eclipse and accidently put the bumpstop on the outside of the boot....big noises but the car handled great.

Looks great, and so do the wheels!


The clunking sound may also be your endlinks. If they're still the stock ones, they're probably a little too long (now that the car's dropped) and may be preloading your swaybars. That's no bueno.

Check the endlinks...Look for a clean spot where they may be coming in contact with something.. :)

looks awsome...how hard was it to install those

um, a little tricky, like, you need to know how to use a spring compressor, but the hard part was just getting the strut out of the lower control arm....
everything else went perfectly.....

and krazieFox, im thinking of getting a RX8 wing sometime next year...
cuz those wings kinda curve to the body lines.

i want something carbon fibre, but i dont know what....

I bet the Mazdaspeed RX-8 wing would look sweet on a 3!

yeah... they're kinda expensive tho.. $700 for a unpainted (primed) rx8 wing....

that is high for a wing im probably going to go with the stock wing for first maybe upgrade later if i decide to

Are those Rims 17's? They look good BTW.

yupp. 17's.

and about the wing, im sure i can get it cheaper, i just did a quick search on google, and thats what i found....

oh, and eggy, the only think i found that may be hitting is where the sway bar bushing ataches to the lower control arm.

but it's weird, the noise only happens every once in a while now.. so im happy.
i guess the problem figured itself out....
