My car is a Crystal White Pearl 2012 Mazdaspeed 3 non-tech pkg. She's daily driven and daily scraped.
This was the morning after I picked her up, barely knew how to drive stick but I made it to the train station somehow.
My wonderful girlfriend bought me coilovers for Chrsitmas! Granted they aren't the best they do the job.
So my friends and I installed them in his warm garage, and spun them all the way down.
The white piece abovein front of the spring shows a pinch weld that forced its way through the fenderwell and had to be flattened so it would stop trying to kill my tire, it was done to both fronts.
This is how she sat right after installation and a quick drive to try and settle the springs.
A few random shots of her sitting pretty
Then I found these on Craigslist...18x9.5 +35
They poked a lot in the front on the initial test fit so we rolled & pulled the front fenders.
The new test fit on the fronts looked like this. I literally have about 3mm of clearance on the inside and will prob run 10mm spacers with 3* of camber
Tires will be 225/40
I have also removed the rear seats but plan on putting them back in soon.
As for performance the car only has intake/inlet and rear motor mount and on stock tune is running 272whp/292wtq on a dynojet
More updates to come
All comments both good and bad are welcome (I have a tough skin)
