hi all,
thanks for all the great comments. i feel the love!
i was thinking the same thing, actually. i just put the suspension in sunday (3 days ago) and i haven't driven it much since. found out i need longer endlinks for the front sway bar. the stock ones aren't long enough with the tokico shocks(all 99-00 owners should take note of this). it 's a very significant improvement over stock. she corners very flat now. love it!
well, i attempted to install my Racing Beat exhaust on sunday as well. got three of the nuts off the stock exhaust with an impact gun, but the fourth one just wouldn't give and stripped. taking it to the local shop on friday to get it cut off. i've already installed an AEM intake and a Mazda strut bar. the B&M shifter, Kartboy bushings, and Momo **** are sitting on my desk. i was hoping to have all of this done for the MTM meet on saturday, we'll see.
so what's next after all that? probably intake and exhaust cams and a rear sway bar. autox here i come...
thanks for all the great comments. i feel the love!

Did you just get the springs on? The car looks a little high still for the Pro-Kit.. maybe it hasn't settled completely yet?

mazdastuff.com is run by a mazda dealer in austin, texas. i highly recommend them. great prices, fast shipping, and excellent customer service. if you ever need a new part for a mazda i would suggest you call them first. i had to buy new front stabilizer links to go with the tokico shocks, my dealer's price was $24.50 each, mazdastuff's price was $20 each. even with shipping they were cheaper.
