Mazdaspeed 3 Front end

This sedan probably won't be as extreme as the black mz3 sedan with the battles; as epic as his setup is... I'm not into THAT much camber. I'm going for aggressive, clean, simple, and not over done. Blah... sounds like everyone else's build! I'm going to try and keep things interesting though.

Nice another sedan! Welcome!

That is a winning combination right there. Make it happen man!

I'm going all out! Hopefully things turn out. I'm mainly worried about front fitment and clearance ect. Im broke for now but this summer I'll have some money to throw at it! I'll make things happen so we can have another sexy sedan on MF!

good luck trying to go that low LOL

scary little tires too at 35 series.

what do you mean by 3 piece mazdaspeed front end?

[chefsp0t]

You could get down near that height with the EDP kit and maybe shorter springs. If you want to swap the the mazdaspeed3 front end you will probably have to do a bit of custom work. Haven't seen any sedan guys do it without hacking bumpers apart and fusing them together.

Yea ive seen the Red sedan above! It's a pretty nice setup. He has wider tires and his wheels are at +45 I'm pretty sure. I'm going to try my best. I think I can do some more work I don't know for sure, but I don't think he worked too hard to fit his wheels.

As far as the MS3 front end, Ive been looking for the Mazdaspeed 3 front end and fenders in scrap or junk yards to refinish and paint ever since I saw some one swap their front end on the 5-door Mazda 3. The MS3 front end is more agressive which is what I prefer in the fitment game. The question is... Will it be expensive. From
What I'm told it would be rediculas to do! But then again no one has yet to try! For all we know it could fit quite well with some modification.

They're actually +30 and he ran a 215/40. Just a roll in the rear.

MS3 front end on a sedan swap has been done once to my knowledge. Across the seas. Not much of it was original by the time it was done. The sedan is COMPLETELY different from the hatch. Fenders are different, bumper, hood. That's just what a hatch has to do is replace those parts. Due to the sedan having a different front rad mount, headlights, etc. everything will have to be bondoed and shaped. Absolutely nothing will fit besides the fenders. Those will fit best, but barely, they too will still have to be modified.

Find a good body kit front bumper like the autoexe or a good lip. You'll spend way more money and won't be able to drive you car of you plan on doing a speed swap on a sedan. Not worth it.

[chester]

Just too bad... it looks like one of those things you could do so easily.

Oh well. I'd rather spend a couple extra grand moving up to a Speed3 and do the real fitment there.

Like I said, didn't know much about the Red sedan's setup. i've tried PM'ing him on Mazda3Forums about it and he just ignores them. So I'll do my own take on it and see if I can one up what he's done

w00t w00t another sedan! welcome!

[chester]

In the market for new wheels and BC Extreme drop kit and front camber arms coming very shortly. Oem side skirt is in the mail too.

Found some OZ Mito 17x8 / 17x9 +48. They're 3 peice and the guy wants em gone cheap... just not so sure how they would fit on a sedan. I'd need spacers or rebuild them for better offset. Could be in the future.

For now, i'll be fitting the Privats I have now as best as possible. Then upgrading the wheels later on. I love the idea of an air system... AirRex is supposed to have a mazda kit out soon. Hmm.

[chefsp0t]

They have their kit now.
