I know, it will handle better just getting wider tires on my car from my rims the car handled remarkably better, but where would you need to use that handling on a daily driver. I mean are you really going around corners 45+mph lol...or drifting...but i haven't seen a mazda 3 drifting anywhere yet lol.

 

This is 10 mile from my work, and I have been up there with the 3 and the F150 http://www.tailofthedragon.com/maps_dragon_road.html
Not insane, but I am a little crazy [8D]

 

I lowered mine purely for the looks (wanted an even gap around the whole tire), I ran 52,000 miles with no problems on the stock struts/shocks. My front alignment was adjusted right back to stock after lowering, and with the addition of the camber links my rear was just as stock as well.

I think people replace the struts thinking they need to, when in reality you really don't. If your car isn't cycling up/down uncontrollably (think like Uncle Bucks car), then your struts aren't blown. I think people misconstrue the sound of hitting the bumpstops as blown struts.

My ride quality with the Eibach Prokit springs was almost identical to stock.

 

Tail of the Dragon is wicked.

 

u shouldent have a problem if u havent lowered it

 

I am still running the Stock Lightning Shocks on my F150 Scott, it has been lowered for close to 30,000 miles and they have 85,000 on them already and I will be running the Stock Struts on the 3 after I lower it also.

 

So if your saying the eibach's run the same ride as stock what would you suggest?

 

I loved the Pro-kits. It was only ~1" drop and didn't seem to have any negatives to the mod. I'd highly recommend them in conjunction with the Camber links to keep the rear camber at stock specification.

I also had 17x7 wheels and 225/45R17 tires

 

My car also developed a camber problem at about 50,000 miles.
I understand most cars today are not made with camber adjustment on the rear. The Mazdaseed catalog has a pair that
when installed will put the camber back to factory spec.
I had the dealer install them and afterward the mechanic said it was an involved job.
I called Mazda and fussed a little and to their credit they refunded the cost of the links with coupons that I can use
oil changes or whatever.
The car now drives like new and my tires should wear evenly again.

 

It is a bit of an involved job to install the camber links. You have to drop the whole rear suspension cradle about 1" in order get the top bolts out of the stock links and into the new links.

Unless something got bent in an accident or the bushings in the stock links wore out, not sure how you'd develop a camber issue. As you stated, they aren't adjustable.
