asking price is 500 bucks for wheels and tires.. waddaya guys think? lol
copied from projector fog thread for Build Thread archives
So although a lot of you guys mentioned how my retrofit idea wasn't practical in terms of output, I went ahead an did it anyway... lol
Just because I live in the city, I dont need fogs in toronto. and the projecture assembly would keep me busy for a few, and just looks nice.
Used a baking lamp to soften up the head lamp of the mazda 3

To begin with... The light output is actually better than with the reflectors in my opinion. Using H7 phillips. Soon 35w 3k HIDs lol.
Awesome retrofit, need output shots bruh!

You should go get it corner balanced and aligned asap.
i will this week.
Did anyone have fitment issues with the Sway bar links on d2 Coilovers?
What issues are you having?
Nice drop!
The drop is crazy nice! Nice progress.
got them from JM racing vendor here.
Yeah i have to lift them a bit, that might be the main issue lol.
so you have d2 and used stock sway links?
i searched and found that the plastic backing for the bearing on the link is garbage, i should look for some moog links that are full metal. but more shipping and handling? lol f that, imma order some stocks and try to get them to fit by lifting my ride height a bit.
Also, for regualr street driving, what are you guys using on your dampening settings?
Yes, I use oem replacements, I just adjusted the bracket on the coilovers to a decent height, cause I heard that if the sway bar is too low its going to hit something and make a sound. But If I were you I would go with adjustables.
And I daily drive my car I'm using Fr: 16 clicks, Rr 15 or 14 can't remember. Feels somewhat comfortable but far from oem.
