An uncommon platform, but not in like a cool way - Mazda6

Looks awesome. Time cut those fenders out and mold you some flares

It's fall these days in SC and I decided to drive around and take some photos. Cell shots, admittedly. What does everyone think of going air? Assuming I can scrape funds together this winter.

I'm basically at a crossroads with the build. I can either bag it and complete the VIP-inspired vision for the car, or I can do something that's been bouncing around in my head... meaty fitment, flares, possibly aero, raised up an inch or so racekor status. Really think my ADHD shows through in my car, lol. I keep taking all my stickers off so it's cleaner and then getting new and more fun stickers and putting them back on the car.

when i had my elantra i was all about that uncommon platform life. your mazda looks pretty fucking nice, good job.

Seems like everyone is going those two paths nowadays. It's either flares, meaty tires and some overkill wing......or bags. What happened to the days where badass stock bodied cars skimmed the ground on crazy coilover setups with custom springs/springrates? So I vote option 3. Contact Swift, get them to make you some badass super-stiff, super-short springs, dial in a little bit more camber, lower it another inch or two and tuck those rears static!

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

Have you considered at all a middle ground? A style something like the Bee Dragon Cima might adequately combine both ideas into a single vision:

I say do a Ben style. As long as you want bags with big wang and front splinter, plus a race inspired style wheel would look cool

That is rad. If left unchecked, the car is probably going to head towards a middle ground anyway. I was just having trouble visualizing what it would look like.

I had considered getting shorter springs, but frankly I drive this thing 15k miles a year and scrape subframe getting into my apartment (speed bumps) already.

Another pic for good measure!

Personally because these things are rarely seen to be slammed, I'd go mad with a wide kit and crazy flares and stuff haha, and keep it all lovely on the inside, but that's just me

[rightfullrudder]

I bought some things.

[bennkishh]

I bought some things.

You did the thing

[rightfullrudder]

You did the thing

Lol yup. Been putting it off forever.

So far my plan is:

Management (bought already)
- 5 gallon tank
- 444c compressor
- AVS 7 switch controller
- 2 dual needle viar pressure gauge
- 1/4 brass and PTC fittings

Front: UAS over D2 coils

Rear: Individual air springs and the D2 struts, separate strut and spring in the rear of these Mazdas.
