Fitted the back ones today, took longer than expected so will fit the front tomorrow. Here\'s a before and after view:

Cheers, Paul:)

P.S. If anyone wants anymore pics and possibly a guide on how to fit, then post here and i\'ll russle something up;)

Not as low as I thought, but still much better than Safari spec, lol.

Difference in rear springs, std OE vs. Tein.

Whats with the ride height? never seen a stocker that high at tyhe back? Still looks high with the teins? strange...

Si, they were just springs m8:)

Not sure about the height, but the drive is on a slope:confused: maybe they need to bed in or something? and maybe the black wheels helps to highlight the gap, because usually a shiny wheel would be the focal point.

I belive your springs maybe around the wrong way , as higher springs should be at the front and woere springs at the back?

Wav

I doubt it very much, but I guess you could be write. However the springs have either R or F as the first letter of the code, i.e. Front or Back (check pic to look at rear one) and these were fitted accordingly and I wouldn\'t think that TEIN would be that horrible to confuse poeple by having F and R the wrong way around, lol.

Cheers, Paul:)

Just a quick question Wav. Did your old black ones have  mazdaspeed and eibach logos on? I only ask because I spotted them on mine last week while I was underneath. I previously thought my suspension was stock.

cheers,

seems strange as i have just brought Racing Beat springs from the states and the front lowers by 3/4" front and rear by 1.5"

so thats why i was confused?
