You would either need to change the height of the spring, or where the spring mounts to.
>is it possible to do it without lowering springs?
Yes. You can buy new front mounts that lower the front of the car by 3/4".
You can also cut your stock springs, but this is not recommended, at all.
>or is it adjustable?
Not without some expensive aftermarket suspension parts called: Aftermarket adjustable coilovers.
>if i want lowering springs, where could i buy it?
Nearly anywhere that sells car performance parts.
Any rotary retailer will sell them... ie: www.mazdatrix.com, www.rx7.com, etc.
>i think i need new shocks too... its leaking
Good idea to replace rpings and shocks together. Same places will also sell new strut/shock upgrades.
>and how much are motor/trans mount? i think mine are going out too...
$30 each for stock motor mounts, about the same for trans.
$50 or so each for a pair of solid engine mounts or pair of trans mounts
$50 or so each for each engine mount/tranny mount when made out of polyurethane.
>same with a bunch of suspension bushings
For stock? I have no idea. Expensive.
For Polurethane? $100 + $40 for Dynamic streering eliminators.

Might want to throw in a set of STABILIZER (just to keep Icemark from going crazy) bars at $250 for a set, as well.
