After 3 weeks of owning my 2006 Mazda3 5-door, I was hit and spent the next 5 weeks waiting for my local Mazda dealership to repair it :bang Now I'm completely paranoid about everything they fixed, because it had a clean record until now :flaming It's completely stock and because I only owned it for a brief period of time before the accident, I'm having trouble remembering some things.

Maybe I am just being paranoid, but it seems like the rear wheel wells are slightly higher than they used to be. On level ground I can fit my vertical fist between the tire and panel in the rear, but in the front, it can only fit about 3 fingers. Just wondering if this is normal, or if there a break in period?

p.s. – I'm a newb here who decided to stop lurking :pop

Sounds like you got new stock shocks or springs, they should settle a bit in a couple of weeks. I would recommend coilovers or prokit springs (if you're tight on cash).

Sorry to hear about the accident.
