Re: Just got Prokits installed.. Thoughts?
what was your reason for choosing prokits?

Re: Just got Prokits installed.. Thoughts?
a lot of people had some good reviews and good driving experience with them on stock struts. Judging by your signature yours looks lower lol
-
Re: Just got Prokits installed.. Thoughts?
yeah i lowered it a little bit. but i guess i was just wondering if you did it more for the look or maybe better spring rates? i had great luck with stock struts and stechs back awhile ago

Re: Just got Prokits installed.. Thoughts?
Looks good man! Maybe sooner or later it will be time for you to space those bad boys out a little ;)

I'm hitting near 180k, dropped on Pro-kits since about 20k and still on the original shocks and struts. :)
mazda2010 ; Car looks sweet, she'll still drop a little more as has been mentioned. Should leave about an inch clearance on the front when it's done.

I have nearly 30k KMS on my prokits and my stock struts are still going strong.

Re: Just got Prokits installed.. Thoughts?
As mentioned, it should be a bit lower after settling. Car looks good, stealth-y look you got going!

Re: Just got Prokits installed.. Thoughts?
Looks great! I have my prokit in my basement and not on my car.. :( Are the 1st gen and 2nd gen kits pretty much the same drop?

Apprently first generation PKs drop a bit lower, but both gens fit all Mazda3s.

Re: Just got Prokits installed.. Thoughts?
To the OP; Just remember to take her in for an alignment check once it's settled! Pay special attention to the rear camber, if it's anywhere near the outter limits, consider getting camber kits. It's well worth it.

Re: Just got Prokits installed.. Thoughts?
I got my prokits from nextmod last summer...love the ride but after a little while I wanted lower lol. The rear camber is out a little bit and I probably should get a camber kit. If you can do the same! looks awesome though!

Re: Just got Prokits installed.. Thoughts?
Did you rotate them at all during those two summers?
-
Re: Just got Prokits installed.. Thoughts?
Car looks awesome!
The good thing about PKs is you can get away with them in the winter (providing you don't have a lip kit and/or extensions).
Just wait 'till they set, you'll love it.

Re: Just got Prokits installed.. Thoughts?
car looks good buddy... we met at APH that day! i had the black gt remember?

Re: Just got Prokits installed.. Thoughts?
Getting my prokits installed next week with koni yellows... Is a camber kit necessary? why is it important to do an alignment after they settle?

A Camber kit may not always be necessary but you can tell by the final alignment numbers. e.g; If the camber angles on your rear tires are at the outter limits, there is good chance it will wear your tires oddly and prematurely. I would say put the Camber kits on, set the rears specs right from the start and then no worries.
Getting an alignment check is 'mandatory' as the drop WILL change the numbers, sometimes drastically from oem specs. Also if you don't want to be buying new tires every couple of years also. ;-)

Thanks for the info. :) My tires are a little worn down and ontario Mazda already suggested I replace them. I will wait till the end of summer, wear them down a little more and at that time I will invest in a camber kit for my new tires.

Re: Just got Prokits installed.. Thoughts?
Looks really good :D That's my plan for the summer as well. I'll be interested to hear if you need a camber kit or not as I have to factor that into saving as well. Come back and post when you get your alignment done please :)
