[color=#728FCE

ost_uid0]Did the astina's come from mazda with the option of a sunroof or could you only get them aftermarket??? Cause simons sunroof looks exactly like mine and i was told it was aftermarket. It's electric isn't it simon?

The reason i ask how much it's been lowered is cause i like the hight it's at... but who can resist going lower huh?

@ Vegitto; what's the ride like on those Lovells?? [ie Fairly hard or a bit softer than normal lowering springs] It does sit at a nice height though. I like it!
