Racing Beat Front Lowering???

Hey all. I have Tokico Illuminas, Eibach pro kit, and a Cusco front strut bar on my 89 turbo. I want to know if you have any suggestions regarding the racing beat front lowering kit for the 2nd gens. It involves new mounts for the shocks that lower the front another 3/4 inch. I love how the back of my car sits, but the front is a little higher than i would like.

Has anyone used these? Do they affect the ride ( i.e. do the wheels scrub or does the car bottom out?). Any feedback would be great. My car handles great, i just want a slightly more aggressive look. I also dont want to scrub my 18's. Thanks

I haven't ever seen it installed in person, but I would just call Mazdatrix and ask them what they think. They deal with that part every day, so I am sure they would know the answer for sure.

i put them on my vert to save on some suspension travel. but they deffinitely do not lower it 3/4 of an inch; a half inch at the most, but I have a ground control coil over kit also, so it might be a lil different for you. I also had 18s and they would hit the front fenders under hard cornering which would not have bothered me but hard cornering is just too common when your driving a 7; so I sold the 18s and added sway-bars and struts.
