Just so no one else has to go through this. I just had to change all 4 of my tires on my 05 2.3L at 30000 miles. I spoke to the local dealership and they said because of the negative rear camber which is stock on our Mazdas, we should be rotating our tires every 3500-4000 miles. So everytime the oil is changed is what I have reverted to. There is only one fix, the Speed specific lowering kit includes a new rear upper link which is supposed to take the camber to 0.

Audio upgrades
Interior lighting

 

Stock rear camber is -1.0 degree, when I lowered my car with Eibach Prokit springs, it went to -2.1 degrees, so I installed the Mazdaspeed links and got it back to -1 degree, you won't get it to zero and you wouldn't like the handling if you did.

I rotate my tires ~every 6,000-8,000 miles and I got 45,000 out of the last set. (Toyo Proxes FZ4 - wear rating of 300)

 

What upgrades aside from lowering have you done?

 

Mazdaspeed exhaust, custom interior, Mazda6 leather shift ****, Full body kit (I have the 3i)

Thats a good looking car! I wish the MS3 came in that color and shape....

 

Thanks.....Me too (AWD was my desire as well).....I'd already have one if that was the case.

 

So that's where the "Zoom - Zoom" decal goes that came withthe new car. And Iwent and put it on my laptop.

 

I've actually got a Mazdaspeed sticker on the rear view mirror, the Zoom-zoom is on the divider bar just above the rear license plate on the rear bumper.

My sales guy actually gave me 4 ZoomZoom stickers. I put one on the Front windshield centered. Its just below the top molding and put one on the back window at the same place. I get more complements on the dam stickers then I do the car.

Then I get one in the mail so I still have 3 to use.. Oh what to do with them....
