Im good, I have all the GT SPEC parts in my car and they all match. I do not need to waste more money on suspension parts.

I bring in plenty of AutoExe ones - it's just that they sell a lot quicker than the Carbing ones!

Update 30-09-12

- Replaced both blown headlight globes
- Removed old wiring loom for spotlights behind lower grill
- Reconnected rear door speakers
- Fixed busted clip on the back of the left headlight
- Removed old rims and put on new CX-7 rims

needs more low in the front then its got to get wheel aligned

it's just too bad all new mazda wheels are so heavy... ever since 2003 they've been heavy! ALL of them

Mazda used to use lightweight alloys but I guess they were too expensive because 2003 was the year when major cost cuttings were put in effect everywhere on all their cars... their quality shows it

I hope in these coming years, they will go back to light weight wheels as Mazda is all into this "SkyActiv" hoopla now and they promised to reduce future vehicle mass by 100kg... one of the best ways to do this is with lighter wheels, which also improves handling and braking

Yeah my MST's aren't particularly light either... Not ridiculously heavy... Weighs a bit more than the stock 16's (that's with tyres on both)
One day I will get around to weighing them lol.
But I'm worried that if I did I would be depressed

Dont paint the headlights, they go well with the silver of the wheels And I think the ride height is pretty sweet as it is!
