You gonna check out MazdaFest this coming Sunday?

Hey, thanks for the reply. I work in the Ala Moana area and live in Kaimuki. If you can send/post clearer pics of your car, more specifically of your wheels/drop, that would be great. We could also meet up sometime too. I'm interested in lowering my car and possibly adding 18x8 wheels. I wanted the 1.75" springs but from the posts I would need to change the struts and add camber links. I'm also thinking of getting the Takeda CAI.

Howzit! I live by Ward/Ala Moana area.

After letting it sit overnight, it must have settled because driving this morning, the noise was gone. I guess the springs were settling and when I was driving over speed bumps yesterday, they were shifting into place. Now I can take the speed bumps about 8-10 mph without any creaking from the front. All I hear is the tires and struts, like normal. I just emailed Road Magnet asking about the rear springs. According to Warlord's post and pic, I installed them upside down. I asked them if it would still work the way I did it or if I need to remove them and flip them around. We'll see what they say.

The ride is pretty awesome! Stiffer and a little bouncy, but not necessarily in a bad way. It can take turns much better, doesn't lean as much as oe. I still need to have an alignment done, but considering I just installed them, and stock everything else, and they are performing the way they are, I highly recommend!

Mahalo,

I noticed you got the RM 1.25" springs. Were you able to resolve the issues? How's the ride quality?
BTW, I'm in Hawaii too.
