First thing i did was to change my headlamp bulbs. Yes they really sucked. But after changing the bulbs, okay namn na. I can personally suggest osram night breakers, if nadidiliman pa din kayo might be your tint na.

For the low ground clearance i feel you. Stock mazda 2 has a raked stance na nakayuko ang harap. Pero i cant argue naman with it kasi magandang tignan. Stock lowered kumbaga, tiis pogi

Pero weighing those pros and cons sa unit namin eh i can really im still really happy i went for mazda. Quality of unit is top notch. Compared sa other cars namin. I feel my happiest with mazda.

Hi *tyr0, did you run yesterday at BRC? Please post some pictures of the event.

Try changing your windshield tint to something lighter ... low ground clearance, maybe increase tire size ... or sell it and get a Suzuki Vitara or Hyundai Kona ...

There are options to address these. PM'd some M2 specific pointers & help sources, sir.
tyr0 can very well guide you, too.

Am on tanabe tnf192 lowering springs now. After letting it settle. Ride is surprisingly more comfy than my stock.

I 2nd tyr0's recommendation on Tanabes. They've slightly lower spring rates than stock. Proven on the 2.

The updated 2s w/ GVC have updated comfier dampers.[emoji106]

The thing is I live in a subdivision with lots of humps. Di kaya sumayad ako? I know mild drop lang sya pero I won't know unless I installed it na. Also do i need to change shock absorbers?

The Tanabes 'correct' the overly pronounced stock rake & lift the front overhang a bit while giving you a mild drop. Yes, odd, but you'll gain a bit of entrance angle clearance. If you're w/o skirts, speed bumps & steep ramps won't be an issue. No damper change needed....but once you'd need em, swap in the updated dampers.

Yep! Front height clearance is now a little higher than my stock. Odd but true.

Think seesaw.[emoji4]

Left is stock. Right is the 'corrected' rake.

Those Tanabes are a huge hit for 2s. Keep searching...they're out there, sir. PeligRacing should be able to help you out.[emoji4]

Will the lowering springs void the warranty and yojin3?

I never really knew that the mazda2 has small ground clearance and a stooping stance lol

Yojin3 is the free service package. That won't be affected. The springs may void your suspension related warranty.
