        Another question. when you turn the steering wheel does it respond immediately or does it feel stock? That was one of the things i heard about jpmotorsports 4 point tie bar and i was wondering if it was the same with alex's? I'm getting one regaurdless.

          I feel some improvement, but at the same time, I am on 13" stock size tires, so its not as responsive as it would be with some 195-50-15, or no where close to 205-40-16 or 205-45-17. So with a bigger wheel, and lower profile tire, I think it would handle crazy good, and stay mad flat.

            Lol. I've been thinking about it, but i can't bring myself to tear out this 16xxx mile motor.

            But instead of making it go faster, I'm starting a beautifier project. I graduate May 14th, so by that day, the car should be painted back the factory Mazda Z1 paint code, body work, headliner fixed, blah blah.

            Bc right now, I can't stand the white hood / grille / headlight mouldings, all the dents, paint fading, dings and the such, so hopefully after I graduate, Maxine with be factory fresh again!

                Cleaned it, primered the hood and headlight trim black (read dark grey) and took some pics, and put the factory seats back in. And they are dirtier than what they were when i took them out. the MX-3's were not comfortable any more, and my passengers hated them. Moar Pics tmrw.

                          Hell yeah they do! And I finally found my reference pic. Mazkid photoshop pic is the stance that I want.

                          I'm running the same tire size (205-45-16) as he is as well. His car car is the one that put me on the bandwagon for these wheels!

                                And you are right. I've moved since then to a much nicer development. A place that is right at the upmost part of me and my gf budget, but its worth it every month to not live where we were.

                                And i just ordered a set of oem mazda locking lugs, plus i have the spline lugs on there too. So they will have double duty to get these off. Hopefully they will see the wheels, and not want to steal them.

                                if they steal these, then every miata, mazda 3, P5, or mazdaspeed need to watch out then!
