Little Help in the drop department

[JBale]

hey,

So I'm just looking for some photos of 2007 mazda3 hatches with varying drops and the kind of suspension used to achieve it. I am by no means new to a lowered car but I am still new to the mazda scene and just need some ideas. Not looking for the super low look this time around, just looking to minimize the beautiful wheel game and need to know what amount will make this happen. Thanks

Look through the Member Section, there are plenty of members using different type of suspensions. You'll get an idea what you want really quick as the majority if not all are dropped on something. The mk4 looks nice!

Thanks man, from what i can see yours is looking pretty good with the ocean tails. Would have killed for a '06 TDI.Best of both worlds really, you got one of the newest mk4s you could get and in a tdi.

Where is this member section anyway?

Scraping is so over rated... break a couple oil pans then wish for it....

Boom....Koni yellows and Eibach sportlines

Sportlines are a great spring/shock drop. Just have to be mindful once they get higher in mileage if the rear starts to sag.

My hella out dated sig is sportlines

Describes exactly what I did/happened to my MK4.

Mazda 3 oilpans are fairly high up compared to other cars.
