so i just found this site not too long ago, and i finally got around to creating an account. i got myhatchback 2006 mazda 3about a year ago, and i have already toyed with it a bit, and got a cat back exhaust, K&N CAI, and headers, which shall go on my car very soon! (just waiting on the test pipe!)

 

Hey M3D!! Welcome!!
The standard in springs seems to be Eibach, and the Prokit w/get you 1"-1.2" which is not really enough to worry too much about your stock shocks. They can come later. A rear camber kit should be on your shopping list though.
Since you live in a snow-free state, consider spending a lot less on sway bars. The Eibach"s are the same as the Mazdaspeed bars and a good overall choice imo. If you want a little more, the RB"s, Hotchkis or Cobbsways are the way to go.
I myself have a set of H&R springs, SPC camber kit&Koni Yellowsin the waiting and am considering the Eibach sways (best bang-for-the-buck) for my situation.

 

Welcome to the site [8D]

 

thanks virgin. ill prob take eibach with the springs and sway, and take a look at the rest.

 

Sounds good man, welcome to the forum. You should post some pics after you get everything setup.
