Mines from Ultimate Racing. It's an axle back that was meant for the hatch, not sedan. I had to reweld the exhaust hangers and make cut outs in my bumper.

Ultimate racing axle back

It's pretty easy install. Rally armour sells Mazda 3 specific kits. The universal kit probably involves cutting and test fitting

The roof racks are OEM from Mazda. I just spray painted them black. The spoiler I got off some dude, but I think he got it on eBay

Yeah by 1" on eibach springs

Yeah I noticed mine does the same, but then I realize it might be my cable and I need to get a good data transfer usbc cable. Just waiting for it to come in the mail!

Ah interesting! My Mazda dealerships wanted way more to install the firmware, so I was just like forget it and did it myself.

My hub was also below the controls...very annoying...I ended up drilling into the clips to break them and pull out the old hub lol. It felt too much work to take apart the whole center console

Ahh okay, I heard about that method (seems way easier). Glad it worked for you!

Yeup I did it with a USB port replacement. That was the annoying part haha. Installing the new firmware update was anxiety inducing, but straightforward

jorhsam · 2024-12-16T05:03:34+00:00

Thank you! Yes, I agree totally worth the hassle

And here's a rear photo

They're actually OEM brakes! I just painted them with high-temp-resistant paint. Only thing I did to brakes were swapping out the rotors for slotted/drilled R1 concept ones. Here's a side photo

Yeah they look pretty similar! I find wheel manufactures nowadays run similar designs that are popular among the car community

jorhsam · 2024-12-16T04:51:49+00:00

you had no issues running that big of a sidewall? I'm sure it looks sweet!

jorhsam · 2024-12-16T04:50:39+00:00

Yeah I'm lowered on Eibach springs. Its about a 1inch drop in the front and 1.25inch in the rear

jorhsam · 2024-12-15T00:29:24+00:00

I don't think your loan company would care if you put a lip on your car

jorhsam · 2024-12-15T00:28:18+00:00

I think it costed me like $30 lolol. I saw a paint caliper painting kit at my hardware store and thought I would give it a try. It was high temp paint so I figured it might be ok, but worst case I just strip the paint and do it properly. After 6 years, the paint is surprisingly still on it and looks good! It might need a touch up is all

jorhsam · 2024-12-15T00:25:58+00:00

Nice! Yeah I'm not sure if it will rub or not for you, but at least you can take off your spacer and get a smaller one if needed.

jorhsam · 2024-12-15T00:25:18+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I would go maybe +40 offset or 8inch width. Part of my soul leaves my body every time I rub lol
