small pic but good enough..

What type of suspension setup do you got goin there? you look pretty low and the grass just adds tp that. Are you on Air shocks or just coil overs? does it rub at all? isnt wierd having a lowered car on stock 16's??

sorry for so many questions but im really curious..

Looks nice though, would look even tighter with some bigger rims

Looks good Did you remove the Mazda Logo on the front grill? Looks good from a distance but what about up close, and how did you do it?

Question

What did you use to fill in the roof rack rails? or did you just paint the plastic fillers? Looks nice tho!

he didn't need to do anything to them... the Canadian P5s do not come with the roof rack by default... hence no rails

Wow. Those are some nice-*** ADR's. And they definitely suit the color of the P5 too.

This I need to know ,,
how is the ride in slightly rough road? Are the coilovers at the lowest setting , or near to it , ? How is the ride overall ?
Damn , I think the 4th gen pro's and P5's drop the lowest out of any gen with coilovers , cause I could never get my car to go that low

Well, here’s the only other pic I could find. Sorry, don’t know the name of those rims. They where borrowed, I’ll ask him next time I see him.

Well let me answer, . . .1. rough, what you would expect with hardly any travel and such small springs….2. Yes, lowest setting….3.obviously rougher than stock, but you get used to it, **WARNING** absolutely NO speedbumps and avoid train tracks at all costs!!
