    Wow Luke, they look just like mine.
    Mine were installed today by ECS, picking the car up in the morning, looking forward to see how they go.

    Looks awesome Luke

    I have H&R springs in mine (not coilovers just springs)

    Very pleased with them overall. Even the springs alone cut down body roll and the car feels pointier into the corners as a result

    Think you'll be pretty pleased with them

    So I picked the car up from the guys at East Coast suspension this morning,

    Wow !, that about sums it up, yes the suspension is definitely firmer, you can feel that, but is also a lot more , umm betterer, the ride has improved substantially, the car doesnt have the usual tendency to crash over bumps like it did before, even with my stiff sidewall, lower profile tyres, the car just felt more planted, yet smoother.
    I have one terrible patch of road that I hit everyday on the way to work, with lots of expansion joints and undulations, which was still pretty rough with the H&Rs, but liveable none the less.
    I didn't have the chance to throw it around any corners, I was tempted to detour via the Woronora bends on my way to work, but just didnt have the time.

    The guys at East coast have done a really good job at setting the car up, they initially had it sitting a bit lower, but felt that for everyday driving that the car may have been a bit jittery so raised it a little bit. They also commented how well everything went installation wise, which is always good to hear.

    Looking forward to finding some corners now.

    ha ha, I nearly did the same thing with mine Luke, I was just driving on a straight bit of road and thought Id do a bit of a quick shimmy, just to see how it all felt, pitched it for a quick left.....thankfully there was a clear lane on my left hand side.

    And I still haven't been able to take it for a good fang, but I have noticed that now the back end feels like its actually handling the corner, not just dragging its arse around like before.

    Do u find your rear hard? mine near unbearable will try changing the height and playing with it cuz it is high in teh rear at the moment ( will try a diff spring rate if im not 100% happy with the rear).. im happy with the way it handles, front end ride is the best i have felt in a mazda 3 for ride and handling.
