being a newer car, not much will be available in australia yet.

i'd be looking at coilovers from japanese companys... D2, G4, Tein etc. or getting kmac to do custom stuff.

Tein do coilovers for it... I can get a price if you want, but obviously not cheap. If you're just after a better package than standard, then KYB or Koni shocks, with Dobinson or Eibach springs will be all you're after!

well i found out that theres really no point changing the Shocks on it cause they are pretty new and sweet... so i should just only change Springs... and ive priced Kmac with a nice camber kit from them too..

i would rather get some of nice quality than some cheaper ones only cause of it being a newer car and all... if it were my mazda i used to have it woulda had King springs lol =D

I actually got a question about Lowering;
I got a BA hardtop, i would like to lower it... but im not sure how far.. i mean if i put 17 - 17.5" wheels on it, how low would be too low so the tyres would rub on the car itself???

Well i think a good 2 inches will sit it nicly from memory of some 16's i had on my old hardtop..

but i never got a chance to get the lowering...

if you want just goto my readers ride section and my pics of my hardtop with 16's is there with standard ride height and it might give you a basic idea of the lowerin for the 17's you wanted
