And yes springs is all you need to install besides tools. when you do it you have to be VERY careful with the bearings at top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiji ST Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 when you do it you have to be VERY careful with the bearings at top. And I would suggest getting some adjustable rear camber links as well with that big of a drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchy chan Posted July 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 i don't think we had the adjustable camber links on there when we had the springs on....i'm pretty sure we just recently put those on, after we took the springs off....

Skinner Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 yeah you will need to get the rear camber plates for that kind of a drop. mazdaspeed makes one and so does progressive ( 2 that I remember off the top of my head). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go onto the mazda3forums.com, check out TIMotorsports. They have them for $160 shipped. You supply food/beer and I'll give you a hand too. I've done a few spring swaps myself.

I've done a few spring swaps myself. i can do that... so nothing needed for the fronts? just the one set for the rear? i went on the M3 forum and i saw a sponsor section for THmotorsports, but not TI. link?

Fiji ST Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Sorry, I meant THMotorsports. And when you order them, you will order two to make a set. You can order camber plates if you want, but the tire wear problems come from the rear only. http://www.mazda3forums.com/index.php?topic=131170.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan9381 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 so this would work? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SPC-REAR-CAMBER-KIT-FORD-FOCUS-MAZDA-3-MAZDA-5_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ65Q3a12Q7c66Q3a2Q7c39Q3a1Q7c72Q3a1205Q7c293Q3a1Q7c294Q3a50QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem29ffe72319QQitemZ180386997017QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories as long as it wont affect tire wear up front, thats fine with me. i just want to lower her car to look better...shes not going to go out and auto-x it or anything...and since her dad just got her some new tires, i want to try to keep them in good condition for the life they're supposed to get.
