eibach 171 100 .8" all around
all the above info came from mazdatrix, except for the drops:

the ST are progressive. they are at 85 when driving and then change to 120 during hard cornering. this is to give a better every day ride quality and still add some performance. a great spring for a DD IMO as long as the drop isnt too far.
ill be running ST and HP on the DD FB. i got my illuminas in yesterday and the eibachs are on their way for the SA. the SA also has ST front and rear sway bars. i need to get some RB sway bars for the FB.

I had the Tokico HP Blues/RB Springs and RB sway bar setup. Monster improvement over stock. The sway bar was the last item to go in, turn in on corners became very predictable. When I do it all again, I think I'll go for some slightly stiffer springs in the front, it still seemed to have some dive and I think I could go stiffer.

You got a header too? I wanna know how that sounds with your Magnaflow. I'm running a RB streetable header and have been debating for a long time whether or not to go for a Magnaflow, Borla, or RB muffler.

well i have decided to hold off on the pics until early next month...for the reason being ...ONE..i need to wait till my tax return to buy everything else that i need. Once i buy everything i need then i will install everything in a weekend or two and take LOTS of pics...Here is my listing so far :
1) Slotted Rotors
2) Remaning exhaust components to install my new header (thanks BLWFLY) and a mid muffler (another magnaflow hehe) to act as a presilencer.
3) Stainless steel Brake lines
4) Konig rewinds- Graphite with Polished Lip (15 x 7)
5) New Tires (not sure which ones yet..im up for any suggestions)
6) New Bushings (Energy Suspension)
7) Repaint my Front Bumper
Once i have all these items installed then i want to take a **** load of new pics of the FB.
