    the mazdaspeed accessory springs i have included the camber kit; the drop isn't as severe as the pro-kits are (at least on my hatch..it looks like about 3/4 inch..maybe an inch). i picked up the mazdaspeed shocks at the same time. Winter is always an adventure, but the car still rides higher than most sports cars in the winter, so it hasn't been a huge issue.

    Here's a pic with them on:

    which kit is that?

    How many of you guys have seen, or are running 225/45/18s with pro-kits?

    these are 225/40/18 on my car. the proper ratio for an 18" wheel not to throw the speedo off.

    and as i've said in previous posts. rubbing at full wheel lock. but i don't have any experience with 45 aspect ratio tires so i can't say what will happen there

    based on other thread discussions, i think it's 50mm.. it didn't matter much to me at the time as long as i knew it fit and looked good.. which this was evident by other members running the same wheels.
