Dude, what colour you got?<p>I've got the same ones but silver.<p>I'm droppin it 2". 2" is a good number. Fills the gap up and get really low for handling wise.<p>~A

dropping your car 2 inches does NOTHING for your car handling wise unless you use a strut/spring combination thats made to perform at that height with your car. Thinking that just a 2 inch drop will improve the handling characteristics of ur car is a "ricer" mentality. That being said, a 2 inch drop is probably the most you should go on an mx with 17's.

Hey i got the silver ones too. What springs or coilovers did you use to get a 2" drop. What kind of tires do u have? i have some falkens.

id say you should lower your car as much as you would with your stock tire and wheel combo. 2 inches is very low for an mx3. i think anyway

Especially when you have stiffer springs, struts, both tower bars, both stronger lower strut bars, and sway bars too.<p>~A
