Question Trying to figure out what kit lowers this car? (PIC)

Does anybody know, or have a valid comparison, of what springs/shocks setup is on this car? This is the look I want... Just trying to figure out how to get it.


Thanks In Advance!

you can use any coilover system to get that look.

tein.. a'pexi.. anything..

range from close to 1,000 bucks.. to over 3 grand.

dont forget.. you need 17s or 18s to complete the look.. not just lowering on stock 16s.

.......but if that 7 is from Mazdaspeed my guess is, that the suspension is the Mazdaspeed coilovers......

both of the above are from mazdaspeed and one would be incorporated in the suspension of that vehicle.

ok, with all the doubt up in here, you guys have forced me to take a harder look at the first posted pic.

conclusion: i too believe that i am mistaken. my apologies. still a bit hung over from last night if that's a valid excuse.

anyways, did some searching... that's the B-spec mazdaspeed kit. i'm sorry for the confusion. just trying to help believe it or not.

b-spec 1

b-spec 2

duchi, no big deal I just wanted to know what kit was in the 1st pic because I kinda like the rear skirts from the side. Now that I see them from the back they're not as appealing though.

So B-Spec is the same as GTC or are they two different kits?
