Sir, ive seen your car dito sa thread with aftermarket wheels and lowering springs na, may i know ano specs ng tires mo and wheels mo? Including offset.

I’ve already bought myself lowering springs for my car, hindi ko palang pa napapakabit, and aim ko din no rubbing issues just like yours and trajavante.

Thou travajante has coilovers, sigurado no rub.

My m2 has 17x7.5, 45 offset wheels, and 205 45 tires.

will post pictures after springs installation.

Rota blitz
17* 7.5
Et 45
With 5mm spacer

Tires
Aeolus Au04
205/50/17

Cambered at -1.2° (with spc camber bolts)

i have minimal rubbing on front when doing full(sagad) turn.

Grats!!! Your wheel & tire specs will be fine. Add some 5mm/54.1mm hubcentric spacers. What springs have you? Please share pics!!!

Btw, BrownMouse & WhiteMouse share same model Tanabes.

Thank you for your reply guys. Its a relief knowing that my spring/wheel combo will be ok.
I have tein s-techs, will also buy o-sulees nadin para hindi dapang dapa on full load, especially at the back.

S-Techs not H-Techs? Tein only lists HTech SKMC2-G1B00 for the M2 DJ, sir. Please verify.

After getting the item from the shop, the box is labeled that it is for the previous gen (DE),
and i talked directly to the owner of the shop and told me that it is still the same stechs that they installed
on other m2s DJ, saw a couple of install DE videos on youtube and it looks like the mounts are the same.
Searched the shop's fb page and saw an m2 sedan installed with the same springs.

Sa kanila ko padin naman ipapakabit, gusto ko lang matapos muna yung pms sched ko this June
(or earlier if the casa allow me), and ill be bringing it back sa shop na pinagbilhan ko and they will install it,
ibabalik ko sa kanila yun kapag hindi fit.

Am not that in doubt pa sa kanila as of now, because sikat yung shop na pinagkuhanan ko,
and the owner/manager assured me that it is for the same car. lets see after ng installation,
will update soon.

Based sa experience of a friend. Yes itll fit. But compression rate is diff. Drop and comfort are totally compromised. Confirm with the shop. Friend sold his and waited for DJ specific ones. Actually i know 2 of em already who sold their DE springs and waited for DJ specific ones.

How does it differ? sobrang sagad ba drop, or parang walang drop? too soft/stiff?

DE & DJ differ in design spring rates. I would repeat what tyr0 advised. Go for DJ specific ones. Others have guinea'd the DE springs on DJ with regrets. Something to learn from....just my 2cents, sir.

Drop is not consistent and from what ive heard, very stiff.

Good day, tanong ko lang kung still good buy parin ba ang mazda 2 1.3mt 2014 non skyactiv models? either hatch or sedan with low km sa odometer.
-Reliable parin ba sa mga long drives?
-Fuel consumption?
-Availability ng parts?

What I found is that the painted panel lacks the glittery something that the other original (unharmed) has. That repainted part still has those glittery (gives metallic look in paint) but not as much of that on the original panels.

Almost all parts of the car feels rough because of that. I requested those to be buff on that same shop. They probably have not covered the car properly. Worst thing is after I gotten the car and recheck those surfaces, it seems the glass (windshield, passenger..etc) on the window and the plastics parts also feels rough to touch.

Return it to the dealer ... complain to the manager about the overspray and have them remove it ...

This is sometimes the problem with shops... I had the same experience with my CR-V. I think the better cheap alternative is to look for "shops that accept repairs from casa". I've heard of some stories that those insurance companies go to this kind of shops. I haven't​ confirmed it though.

Insurance accredited repair shops ...

On a side note ... avoid having painting done at dealers ... they usually subcontract the paint job ... and they pay cheap ... so the painter has to cut corners somewhere ...

Just reserved for the M2 Crimson Ed. Im excited but at the same time hesitant over choosing this over the base M3, as my second vehicle alongside our Forester. Im looking for a much nimbler car with some spirited driving that why I chose this over the M3. I believe that the M3 has a comfier chassis over the M2, but our forester will still be here if we need more space and comfort

Don't worry, you won't be disappointed. Family's got the 2 & the 3.....both great drives, the former much nimbler....a hobo mx5....the latter is comfier, longer wheelbase. On trips where we'd anticipate terrible traffic & limited parking, it's the 2 we take.[emoji4]
