umm... guessing 10-15k, this car only has 20k on it and is 10 months old the springs are 6 or so months old


added the bhr coils and aem intake as things i would include with the turbo

i can post the older pic of before installed drop is not very big, i have pic of the turbo piping and coils in my image gallery

thats sounds good!! would you considering taking $450. i can paypal you afterwork if so. do you know how long mazdaspeed shocks and springs last for. i read that normal shocks and springs last for only like 25-35k miles. do these need to be replaced as frequent as normal stock ones. let me know....

ive never heard of shocks lasting that short of a time period .....


id have to say 500 still, because the cost to ship and the paypal fees allready is a rapeage , plus i need to buy a spring compressor. wont take money untill i get the car back at least.

You do realize you can rent one for $40 or something, right? You get all your money back when you return it. Autozone for sure, but probably every parts place has it.

what!!!!!! don't do it, you just will have a new engine installed, so it will be good.
don't do it, you will have fun when you are installing the turbo in your car, just becareful toward the tuning. i would say ...KEEP IT....
