I got my springs installed on the car yesterday, waiting for the wheels today... just thought I'd share the pics, and Ill definitely get some up after the wheels are on too..
^Before
^Still before
^After
^After again...
I might be looking at a fender rolling issue when these wheels get on, not sure... they are a +45 offset, didnt somebody on here have a fender roller or access to one?
I should mention also that with these I feel less of a squat in the rear when the turbo kicks in, almost feels quicker responsiveness..ness
Mazdaspeed Springs Installed On Ms6
I definitely feel less body roll when I jerk the wheel from one direction to the other (I usually do this about every 5-10 seconds anyways...) [img]http://coloradomazdaclub.com/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif[/img] j/k,,
Id say Im pretty happy with the looks, I know I cant get the best performance out of just springs, but it feels tighter, in a good way.. its a start, I guess
Ride is pretty damn close to stock, id say. I did scrape coming into my shop today, though...

Did you do the install yourself or have it done somewhere? I have been looking into getting the RPM Sport springs in a few weeks but didn't have a clue what to expect in installation costs. The Dealership said 4 hours labor but I think they misunderstood what I was asking for.

I got mine installed at Import Sports and it only cost me $175 and they did an excellent job! Im the type of person to always think there is something wrong ect, but to this day i still know they were installed perfectly. Oh and it only took them about an hour.
