Finally after how long my bf and I got around to putting on the TEIN S-TECHS. The fronts were a bitch to do but its soooo worth it.
Suprisingly the ride isn\'t that harsh since it was a pretty agressive drop (2inches)

Gee... You actually did it yourself? When I saw what had to be done to get the springs changed on my car, I was happy to pay for it!

But good job... working on your own car gives pride of ownership :)

Its no big deal. At first I was a little aprehensive myself but there is a lot of step by step write ups on Mazda3Forums which made it very easy.

A good afternoon and a couple beers later. You \'rent\' a spring compressor for free from Part Source or Canadian Tire and you\'re good to go. If we had to do again it would be probably shave off an hour or two:)

on a side note.... the pic where u can see the reflection of ure golf in the back door ....the paint at the bottom of the door looks \"textured\" like orange skin type of stuff.. is that from the accident repaint or is it just an illusion....cuz the front seems fine :(
