Looks great!

They will actually settle a bit too-- so it will be a TINY bit lower than it is now.

nice drop ! but in my opinion too big of a wheel size like 18's on a small car like the mx-3 just looks odd , but hey it's your car and to each his or her own styling .....

I think 18s look fine, just bit of a harsh ride. Did you chage your shocks also.

well it seems to be only "too high" on your car according to your other post

Really nice. Perfect lowered back, but front is a bit too much for my taste. :-)

Very sweet! I like the height although that wheel-tire combo looks on the heavy side for optimal handling. How's it handle on bumpy rodes and w/OEM replacement KYB's? Man, I've been looking at a complete set of H&R's & Tokico's stored in my closet all winter waiting for enough time & good weather to put em on... you've inspired me! 3Day weekend comin...

looks great, i have a set of ground-control coilovers on my car. by the way, i think 18's are the way to go with the mx-3. i have 18's and cant amagine goin any smaller.....

One reason I went with 18's and 35 series tires is because the roads around where i live are really smooth and i dont have to worry much....but the KYB's are decent, i will for sure replace them in a year or two wwhen i can afford Mazdaspeeds, but even with this setup it handles 100 times better(H&R's :D
