Some new Toys for the 3
I have the MazdaSpeed NA springs and camber links on the way, along with the Sirius Radio receiver for the Radio.
Looks like the handling will be going up a little.
I just hope the stock tires make it to the Spring so I can replace them with something much better then [8D]

RE: Some new Toys for the 3
You'll like those...Let me know if you need installation instructions for either.
The camber links will require you drop the rear subframe an inch or so to get the inner bolt out of the stock upper camber link on each side and to get the new bolt in.

RE: Some new Toys for the 3
I Have Been Reading up on it on 24/7 and the Mazda3 forum. From what I have read it seems pretty much self explanatory after you start.
My local Advance Auto has a strut compressor and the fact I have air tools should make it a little quicker.
I do know it is not a F150, but I have it down to doing the Front springs and the rear Hangers in about 2.5 hours, big difference from the 8 hours on the first one that I did LOL

Nice!! Since the MS sway bars are made by Eibach I would assume the springs are too. I have not found anyway to confirm that mind you, just an educated guess. They should offer a very nice ride, Ken.
So, I guess Santa was good to you?

RE: Some new Toys for the 3
I was told by someone over at Mazda3forums they were the same Richard. I got the Kit from Mazda since it will not void the warranty, but the Eibachs do on the rest of the suspension parts. I don't get it but who knows.
I think it is going to take longer to put the Sirius in than to lower it though. The mounting location for that ison topofright wheel well [8D]

This is exactly what I am doing beginning tomorrow morning, weather permitting.(supposed to be sunny but cold)The springs are coming out of the trunk and going on the car. The MS camber links arrived Monday so I am good to go. I cannot wait to drive it after it has been lowered!
