Never driven a genpu but the style is growing on me ..especially CWP. It looks so much better when the chrome in the headlight is blacked out though:

His kit uses hardened collars as well. I actually bought a set from him for my Hotchkis bar as the included collars snapped.
I have Bilstein Sports and Cobb springs on my MS3 + Hotchkis rear sway bar. I can't comment on how much of a difference each part made as I did them all at the same time but the ride is awesome with...

These are my winters: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ZXQ151f99rA/TrBxLHH--fI/AAAAAAAAA-Q/MPB5MFJ7qDc/s1152/IMG_2316.JPG
I like it! Looks great. I have these powder coated on my speed3.
Thanks for posting this Fobio. I'll update this weekend.
20% all around including strip at top of windshield.

Thanks for the opinions and time guys. I installed the CBE this afternoon since it was a nice day. Very impressed with the outcome so far. I will monitor things more closely now with the AP and...
Hey guys,
I have a 2007 MS3 with Cobb SRI, Cobb TIH, Cobb AP (v200 stage 1 sri+tih map) and will be installing my Mazdaspeed catback exhaust. Just wondering if you recommend switching out the 2nd...
I switched this past weekend since my summers were starting to get squirmy when getting on it with the cooler temps.
Winter setup!!!! MS6 custom powdercoated rims + red vinyl lip + Bridgestone Blizzak LM22 tires:

Please excuse the crappy pics ...bad lighting, inclined driveway, etc etc. You'll get the idea. I would prefer a lower offset but these rims are strictly for winter use.

My 2007 MS3 HID's were aimed VERY low when I got it. The dealership adjusted them which made a HUGE distance.
I had it done through a connection of mine but it ended up costing me around $200 for blasting and powdercoating. My buddy mounted and balanced the tires as a favour.
Looks great man! Glad the vinyl lip worked out for you.
Although I don't plan on driving the car too much in the crappy weather I did put a healthy coat of wax on the rims! lol
Thanks for the feedback!
Tirerack has 18" 215/45/18 Michelin X-ICE 2's for $168/each ..I live by the US border so it's not a big deal to ship them to USAddressinc.com and just pay HST at the...
Thanks guys!! I ran these tires last winter on the same rims (before powdercoating) and didn't have any probs. They're Bridgestone Blizzak LM22 in the stock MS3 size: 215/45/18.
I had my Mazdaspeed6 rims (winter setup), sandblasted+powder coated graphite metallic. Once the tires were remounted I added a red vinyl lip to add some contrast. I'm pretty happy with how these...
I picked up a holder today from Walmart for $6.96 in the USA. Works great so far.

Hotchkis sent new centering collars free of charge via UPS today (hope I don't get a bill for brokerage later)! Great service so far!
...
I just got an email back from Hotchkis sales ..they asked me to send them a photo so they can see and send the correct part!
