    Reynella Mazda thats awesome! I Live just around the corner from there ( My cousin Haley works/ed there, she just had a baby so she wouldn't be there at the moment )

    Kevin do you see many MPS's through the service centre?

    yeah a fair few, not heaps obviously but we've also got the best mazda tech in australia so its a safe place for any mazda to go Hayley left a few months ago now, still drops in every now and then.


    got my mirror tint done, looks great on the silver car

    It will drive much nicer with MOAR LOW, trust me, flat corners are just a hop, skip and a jump away!

    The MPS is a good car stock but has potential to be a great car with some well placed coin.

    I can get a set of super low king springs for it but I'm not sure I want to lower it still

    Have had it about 2 months now and just hit 6400km's. Already done a trip to Melbourne and Whyalla in it, aswell as driving to work and back every day... Think I need to drive a bit less.. Average k's per week is 640 at the moment.
    Average fuel consumption is at 8.1 so I'm pretty stoked with that. I made it from Adelaide to Melbourne's outskirts on 1 tank of juice.

    Took some pics with a mates gen1.

    How low will the Super Low King springs drop it?

    I have H&R which are just over a 30mm drop. Lower than that and you start to have practicality issues (angling over speed bumps, issues with steep driveways etc)

    They do look great sitting a little lower though

    Hi Kevin are you coming on the next cruise in March?
    Invite your 1st gen MPS3 mate too

    cheers

    yeah the king springs dump it fairly low. can get them from a friend who lowered theirs and are a bit over it, dodging bumps and whatnot.

    will try and make the cruise, see how i go, got the PM's, thanks for the invite

    and yeah our whole building here is pretty flash, only 2 years old

    King super lows (KMFL-42SL and KFRL-74SL) will lower it to approximately 340mm centre of rim to guard lip (I had those springs in my old SP23).
    I had eibach prokit springs in my MPS3 which lowered it to 350mm allround, it looked good, handled better and rode just as well as it did when stock

    I nearly bought my new SP25 sedan from reynella mazda late last year.
