See the Spring doesn't hit the top when suspension if fully unloaded?
Another shot of the front; also see new Brembo blank rotor:
The rear springs also looks like it needs a helper spring. Here it is as I push the spring to the top:
Also at full droop, the front coil-over body hits the A arm, but as the A arm is raised, clearance increases:
Rear:
Drill a hole for the rear lines for the resevoirs:
Comparing "shaft" diameter. Mazdaspeed coilovers are about .5 inch:
JRZ shaft is one inch:
I jacked the car up with the wheel still on the ground this much -

At full droop, there is 2 inches of gap:
I called TrueChoice for advice. They said I need a "Helper Spring" and a "coupling spacer" would be a good idea too.
A fellow FD ower suggested this fix for the rear sway bar end links due to the bolt not being long enough when used with the JRZ thicker lower mounts:
