Ask away. I would be more than happy to answer any questions you, or anyone else, have. And if I don't know the answer, I can find out for you

Hey how do you like your COBB springs?

Did you do the LED stuff yourself? I'm not sure if you switched out the stock LED setup and added your own color scheme. I've been looking at doing that but after seeing the step by step it seems a bit daunting.

Oh it's sooo easy. You just buy the bulbs from superbrightleds.com and they swap out perfectly with the stock bulbs. I replaced the dome light, map lights, and trunk/hatch lights. There is no extra wiring or anything.

Oh, you did something different than what I'm looking at. I'm looking at actually replacing the LEDs behind the instrument panel and audio stuffs.

Oh ok. I saw a write up for that on mazda3forums

Love them! I have the Tein S-Techs on my 08 Speed 3 and I think its too much of a drop, the ride is too rough, its basically twice the drop as the Cobbs. IMO Cobb makes the nicest springs for the speed 3.

Yeah i know a couple guys here who have the COBB springs. I love them I think they are phenomenal. I like my s-techs. But I'm thinking I may have to switch to COBB springs when I get to Colorado. Not sure how well my car is going to do in the snow with how low I'm sitting right now. Lol
