Ok folks, whats ya'll opinion on dropping the P5's? Mazda puts out lowering springs that supposively drops the car 3/4". Eibach puts out 1.4-1.2 lowering springs. Who's done what to their suspension and what was the result? Did it affect your bumper to bumper warranty?

btw I have a 2003 P5 vivid yellow

 

hello Ref and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to our Club. There are TWO BIG fridge'S in the corner with anything you can think of in them...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have.

make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom don't care....and take it easy.

oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!

we have a whole forum on Suspension mods and you can get all the info you want over there....which is where this thread will be moving momentarily..... as for the warranty question....yes and no...the only part of the warranty it will effect is that of your suspension....IF the springs are the cause of a failure of some sort...then its not covered. otherwise it is.

 

Did somebody say "low yellow P5"??

baggedyellowp5's car:

 

dang!!!! suddenly my car is no longer low!!!!!!

 

skunk2...shitty ride but slammed the dogshit out of it :-)

 

This is what it looks like now. Spool springs and 18s and it handles like a dream :-)

 

lowered with eibachs, eibachs will actually give you a little more than 1.5" drop, maybe around 1.8-1.9" after it sets

 

close up, i think the springs have set so tahts as low as its gonna get (without xtra weight)

 

Here are a few pics of my PR5 lowered with H&Rs...gave me about 1.5-2 inch drop...

 

damn that is low!!
Love that yellow P5 and silver metallic P5 with the drilled rotors!


I bet you take mad corners with them

 

Well, folks I got my Eibach's installed and the car looks good. Will post a pict maybe tomorrow if it's sunny enough to photograph otherwise I'll wait till sometime after next week when I have my WW Evo hood on.
