Nice. How bigs the drop? Saw Huzer's drop is nice. Not as much as I thought it'd be which is a good thing. hope you enjoy it.

Over an inch in the front? Wowsers, that's pretty low! My drop is very, very subtle...I doubt that anybody would really notice if you told them to check out my car and point out what's different. What IS different, is the way the car handles. One of the reasons I went with the Mazdaspeed stuff is the matched springs/shocks. The main difference I've noticed in handling is on uneven/rough pavement. There, it's definitely quite a bit of harshness. Normal bumps/etc, the car is pretty similar to stock.

I saw his ride last night at the meet. The drop looks NICE! Now he just needs some lower profile tires, 45 series is kinda fat. Icon if I order those srpings do you think I can get the same install deal?
