218 is complete BS, I have the ze specs sheet (written in japanese) with power and all that stuff and it comes around 195 IIRC. Take that and divise it by 1.17 wich is a general rule for FWD car to get whp and it comes up to 166. This is with proper vris points and all that jazz. so expect lower than that for a stock ze without proper vris points wich 99% of people here don't use.

I got both the front and rear from Nopionline. To make the front one fit over the millenia IM we heated it up with a torch and bent it a little bit more. Fits great and doesn't rub the hood.

In the video you can see how it fits.

For tires I've gone back and forth about it a lot and decided to use the same model that helped me get 2.0 60s in my probe. Yokohama AVS ES100s. On the MX3 I'm going with 225/45/16.

For brake upgrades I'm looking into Stainless Lines, Brembo Rotors and Greenstuff pads.

Brakes are the number one concern right now.

All the other suspension work is done. Front/Rear Strut Bars, Whiteline Sway Bar, Tokico Blues, Dropzone Springs, SRD LCA Bushings, SRD Subframe Bushings, Poly Filled (80A) Engine Mounts. Not too much past there that I'm looking into.

Yea Yokes are pretty good I had a set on my mx-6. 225/45/16's fit pretty good?? no rubbing or nothing?? I want to put something wider under mine the 205's are ok but still look a lil skimpy.

Not sure how well they'll fit. The overall diameter seems fine, but the width may require some spacers depending on the offset of the rims I end up with. I definitely think it's a doable size on the MX-3 without any big worries.
