    RSR on 2gen

    Yes..It handles good!! im amaze on how it handles. The stance is really nice, the guys that put it on even likes it. I guess i really need to get a set of MS struts to last longer (i has gr2 for now), and to finish it off with either the MS wheels or the MSM wheels. Ill post pics when I have time. The one I took was kinda mess up..Later...

    Why did you have to get those all the way from Japan? How are they better than what's available in the US?

      well it was a gift for me and since I wasnt able to get the MS ones (got overbid).. Edwin said just to get the RSR or TEIN that is offer in japan for the BHALP. Its lower than any springs available here and like i said its FREE.. Im also going on the way that no one has done before and Edwin knows abt that thats why he suggested it. I guess thats my reason..lol

            speed bumps are now your mortal enemy... save some money to replace your exhaust and other things... have fun while you can! just remember your driving is now limited.

                    Ok. Now I'm jealous

                    I'm getting a quote from Mazda Japan for brand new Mazdaspeed coils and struts.

                    I got a quote for BH Protege front and rear strut towers. USD$475 shipped. Holy hell!!!

                      OK..been driving the car...It sits really good, It was designed for the car so they knew how it will sit. Its a down spring so it really sits low. When I removed the jack I even forgot to move out from under the car cos im used to seeing it sits normal. Its really low. The rear is a bit tucked in. 1 finger (pointer) and the front is 2 fingers. Ill try to post more pics if ever but for not just on my SIG. The tires size i have is 195/55/15 but when things go right I might get the 16 MS wheels ( caloy help me), or the 17 from MSM. IM enjoying it, kinda hard on the back but hey its my show car so i guess its ok. Also, i seldom use this car, it only see 16 miles a day for 4 days. When i want to go fast I used the other one and if ever the wifeys MPV.

                      MAZDA96PROTEGE..ask edwin, he might hook you up with one..they have the TI2000 series..its harder, they also have the RACE SPRINGS..or better yet go with the TEIN..Thats right they carry TEIN spring for our car. Those damn company, thye think we dont modify 2gen pros thats why they dont send it here.

                      Ok thats it for now...ill see if I can resize the pics i took earlier..thanks guys...REMEMBER IM DOING THIS COS IM REPRESENTING 2geners.

                        First off...I was really gunning for the B+G down spring (i think) the ones that goes 2+ inches...You see I have a 15" tires and theres like 6 fingers of gap between them and the worst part is the front..I think 7 fingers, i really need to go drastic with the drop to compensate for my small size..TIRE I MEAN..lol. IM 6ft tall with like 220lbs weight and I tell you when i go and sit in it i feel like im sititng on one of them sports car, its really low. The side skirt makes it lower too, so i cant wait to get the rear skirt and front conversion.

                          Dude why not get with Edwin? he can hook you up good. My friend spent a bit more cos Edwin suppose to help me ship it here but my friend insisted on sending. Besides, If you cang et it from the Philippines it might be cheaper to be shipped here. Im getting my stuts in the Philippines its hard to findit in japan and corksport price is WAY TOO RICH FOR MY BLOOD...lol
