it had lowering springs on it with stock suspension. it was too low, esp with the kit. after the kit was torn to pieces, before refiberglassing it i cut a little over an inch off and got tien coilovers.
it needs to be dropped. horribly.

a 3000x2000 size pic is in the Audio/Visual Section. And that girl proved it: it's not about the camera, but more about the photographer. But as you develop as a photographer, you'll realize that you wanna do more than just composition/angles

pure_rotary: beware of leg humpers. They are abundant here. Also, since seeing that you're new to the forums, we all welcome you! But if your car breaks down, you better not blame it on the car and "unreliable" rotary engines!

Seriously....mazda doesnt need to change a thing on this design. They just need to remanufacture it with upgrades to the engine and thats it!
I swear, if they if they brought back the '99+ FD, I'd buy one in a heartbeat. Flip-up headlamps kick ***.

Just FYI, C-West (and many other JDM bodykit manufacturers) have now since stopped making their kits in fiberglass for the above mentioned reason. They make them using a urethane/fiberglass hybrid (diff companies call it different things), where it's as light as glass, and can be repaired like glass can, but is flexible and difficult to damage like urethane. C-West's version of this material is called PFRP (Pliable Fiber Reinforced Plastic).

I've had the C-West kit for a few years now, and I know the CRAZY beating it's taken due to being very low, but Thank God, I can say I have yet to crack ANYTHING. Just a LOT of rubbing, scratching, and touch-up painting

No **** leg humpers go right to it. Especially when they find out a semi attractive girl is on the forum; x10 if they own a seven.

pure_rotary doesnt exactly seem like she's unaware of the dangers of dorito engines. tastefully modded FD, the realization that it does need to be dropped, and searching up on singles.

she also has beautiful eyes that i could fall into. and that was not leg humping, it was a compliment.

thanks for the heads up, i came across that PFRP kit the first time my kit cracked, but i didnt plan on ordering it. maybe one day though. im sure it would be a stress reliever

NP You wouldn't believe how resilient the parts are. I've actually HIT things (a car LOL) with my front bumper, only to have a paint smudge appear - nothing else! And another time, I had a shop place the lift arms w/ the mounting points too low, so the arms actually *compressed* my sideskirts as they lifted the car. I was gonna cry lol. I screamed at 'em to bring the car back down, and lo and behold, the sideskirts popped right back into shape. I was haha. So for me, it's hybrid material or bust. Worth every penny (esp when you see how many pennies it takes to repair a glass bumper after accidentally "nudging" a concrete parking barrier...)
