    Mine in DGR coils. You could go lower, depends on your offset/tyre width.

    Hey Ben,
    How you finding the ride at that height. I'm having Troy fit coilovers next week end and like you're ride height. Also are they stock tyres?

    Ride height is pretty sweet as is, want to go lower but it's my daily and my front bar gets touched up pretty regularly as it is now lol. I've got 235s but there is hardly any difference, as Troy will tell you it's dependent on the shape of the sidewall, the ku31s I have are very upright in profile compared to the stock dunlops. I havent tried a full car but there looks like there is enough clearance and with the stock rims Troy assures me they wont scrub the guard, if you went to aftermarket rims with more offset than the story would change of course. Hope this helps you?

    Thanks mate BTW have the ku31's helped with traction off the line?

    I can't really compare as I bought the car with shagged OEMs. The ku31s are less grippy on paper 320 wear rating vs the dunlops' 240. If you're after grip over longevity, ku36s sound like the shiz.

    Nice work on the rims, looks pretty close to the real deal...

    Hmm I like this colour and thinking of paintin my rims. I have. GenII 3MPS in Black Mica 16W.

    I was going to go black on black, but this colour seems dark enough to give the desired effect but is different enough to create a slight contrast

    Do you have the paint code for this??

    From a Google search I think it's:

    Mazda Magnum Gray Metallic - 27k

    Thanks mate. I hope it is dark enough. I really want it dark without having to go to black. As appears dark up against the Velocity Red but may not on my Black Mica.

    I guess it is hard to tell on the screen. I guess I'll see it up close and personal.

    The Gen 2 centre cap has a removable chrome piece. Gen 1 doesn't.
    I'm unsure about the 6 MPS, but, I'd say it doesn't either.
