Hi All!

Picked up a 60 plate Red Mazda 3 MPS the other week (27,000 on the clock!) and new to this forum malarky! Currently on holiday and came across this MPS owners forum which looks awesome to be a part of!

Im going to be looking at doing some simple modifications to make it stand out from the crowd (eibach springs, catback, new alloys) so will keep updates on what I do.

The previous owner had some aftermarket alloys on which I'm not the biggest fan of, so looking at picking up some standard MPS 18" alloys in anthracite grey.

Here is how it is currently looking:

Now I have got available some mazda 6 19" inch wheels which are tempting me but unsure if it will look like a monster truck

Let me know what you guys think!

Looking forward to seeing what everyone else has done to theirs!

Ed :)

Welcome to the forum.

I'd give the Mazda 6 wheels a try could look well with a small drop with the springs.

Thanks ShaunyG!

Do you have any recommendations on lowering springs? Im thinking either eibach or H&R

My personal preference would be H&R from VIP Motorsport.

I had Eibach on my mk1 with Bilstein B12 shocks and decided to change to H&R springs and found them to be better. Gave a better drop and improved handling.

H&R springs have arrived and have managed to pick up a set of original MPS 18" Alloys.

Thinking of getting them sprayed in anthracite grey, will post some pictures once I have them fitted!
