Low ride plus comfort. Is it possible?

[Intruder]

Hey asylum, thanks for the pics man. I looked at the other folders there and saw this:



How did you "tint" the windows? I know you Photoshop-ed them, but how? Did you use a fill layer and adjust the opacity?

[asylum24]

just selected the windos and then created a new layer and changed it from a normal layer to an overlay or multiply layer(cant remember for sure) and the just bumped it down a bit in opacity to about 50% then just copied that layer and pasted it above it lower then opacity down to about 20% and then erased the windshield and the frotn windows so that the back windows were darker

I see. I'm gonna try that later... Thanks!

Funny thing the car feels a lot better since time has passed with the installation of the rear discs. The clutch has broken in and the brakes feal a lot stronger.
At this point they are Very sharp. I am however going to order new pads from www.mazdaformance.com for the rear and also the front after I install the ES bigger front brakes ...

This is basically what my car looks like with the springs that i have on the car. The BG springs. I do have to becareful with some bumps as the front does bottom out at time.

hey bruce, what's the drop of those BG springs? 2.25" or 1.5"?

I'm looking at the intrax springs right now but I'm worried they're gonna lower my car too much....

[Intruder]

just buy reman calipers from the parts store and get the rotors along with it and bolt the **** on

when I go to the store they're gonna ask me what car I got. do I have to lie to them I have an ES or just say LX?

[Intruder]

what do you think?

I want to say LX but then some idiot might start arguing they won't fit or work... Just like someone at a dealership refused selling the ZFR5F-11 spark plugs to Lil Freak...

.....awsome, i've been waiting for somebody to post a pic comparing the different drops on rides. You da' man
thnx

[Identity_X]

Keep in mind that if you end up using your stock struts they will die much sooner with a drop. It could happen in a month or a year but the added stress from the drop will shorten their life. This means you'll have to do another install + pay for an alignment again. Save your cash and do everything at once. I have a 1st gen and I can tell you that with 17" wheels and a more aggressive suspension setup, ride comfort goes down the drain......but who needs ride comfort anyways

[Intruder]

I ordered the KYB struts. I'm still having doubts about the springs though... Ahh, why is it so difficult to decide...
