Wondering if anyone has aftermarket Springs or Coilovers? If so, please post a pic of your vehicle with Brand and how much you're dropped on. And those who plan to get aftermarket Springs/Coilovers what are your thoughts...

Personally I plan on going with some Skunk2, Eibach Sportlines or Raodmagnet Springs. All will give me about a 1.5-2.0 drop. I'll post pics of Speed3's with these Springs when I figure out Photobucket. [img]http://coloradomazdaclub.com/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/44005b62.gif[/img]

I'm looking at a few different coilover options: Cusco, HKS, and Eibach are three that I'm researching at the moment.

Are you looking for full coilover set up or just springs? stay away from adjustable coilovers as I had some on my old civic and they were the worst ride I have ever experienced. I currently have tein s-tech springs on my msp and kyle went with a tein full coilover set up and he loves it. It also rides very nice not to mention the adjustablity of a full coil set up. I am saving for either tein or k-sport set up.
