Tripleskate Posted June 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Where exactly are you located? I've been seeing a lot more 3i's than 3s like mine as of late. But Ti. Grey with tint huh? I'll make sure to lookout for it. Oh and under the hood stock is very....uninspiring, lol. I can't speak for the 3i but it's mostly plastic covers and the plastic mani.

Tripleskate Posted June 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Oh and I forgot to mention a few subtle aesthetic changes; I removed the "2.3" badges and the side moldings and I swapped "the whip" antennae for a Visual Garage sharkfin.

evan9381 Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 we live in blacklick, but work in westerville. i work on schrock between state and cleveland, and she works at the corner of main/cleveland. its nothing special, but its hers, so i cant do much. ive been trying to get her to lower it, but the only way that will happen, is if i buy the parts, and im not sure i want to drop that much money on HER car. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripleskate Posted June 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Lol, I'm looking at Springs myself. I can't decide how much I wanna lower it though. I've got ~2.5 inches of wheel gap stock and It's a toss up between Skunk2's (1.5F & 1.3R), Eibach Sportlines (1.8F&R) and Tein S-Techs (2.0F & 1.5R) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripleskate Posted June 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! I hope to see some of you guys tonight at Sonic!

Tripleskate Posted June 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 totally different cars....but i have sportlines on my car and they ride and perform great How much is the Sportline drop for 'Stangs? Your drop looks really aggressive. :thumbup: I'm just worried about the potential bounciness since they are progressive springs, but GODDAMN do they look purdy!

Guest tbutera2112 Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 $210 for 79-04 models and a little more for the new body....a 79 fox has the same platform as an 04 gt lol http://www.gripmotorsports.com/pi~pn~eibach_sportline_lowering_springs-3910.html theyre $205 for your car...my mom has a mazda 3 that i used to daily drive...fun little car, slow as balls, but its pretty peppy for what it is oh...and theres definately no bounce here not sure how it works for mazdas, but on a stang if you drop it more than 1.5" then you have to get adjustable caster/camber plates or else you can't correct the massive negative camber from the drop....i have c/c plates but theyre not installed yet, my front tires got chewed up nicely with my drop and not having c/c plates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan9381 Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 if you do end up lowering it, let me know and ill come out and give a hand, so i know what im in for if we ever do lower hers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
