I'm looking to purchase these corksport lowering springs it just shows 2 do I have to buy another set to go all the way around my car or do 4 come with it?
With the purchase of these lowering springs, do you all recommend buying additional parts such as adjustable rear toe arms and/or adjustable rear camber arms to perform a proper alignment? Or can you to get the vehicle alignment back into manufacture specification with stock parts to avoid having to purchase and install those additional parts?
Due to the drop of these springs being as modest as they are. Alignment wont be terribly affected. Adjustable arms shouldnt be needed unless you are trying to fit in some aggressive wheels.
Will I have to roll my fenders or do anything other than install/align on a 2007 Gen1 if I want no rub?
As long as you do not go wider than a 235 wide tire, then you should not have any rubbing issues.

Will these work on a 2008 (GEN1) mazda speed3?
What is the actual spring rate of these springs? What is the spring rate for the n/a 3 lowering springs?
They are going to be about 25% stiffer than stock.
I bought a set a WHILE ago and I think one of my rear springs has lost its spring, any chance I am able to order just a set of rears?
Normally we do not sell rears by themselves. I would give us a call at 360-260-2675 so we can see if there is something we can do for you.
Are these springs linear or progressive?
The fronts are linear, the rears are progressive.
How can you tell which is front and which is rear spring? i received mine a while ago, but has been sitting in basement which flooded and the instructions basically disintegrated.

Will this work on my 2011 Mazda 3 2.5L?
It was not designed for the Mazdaspeed 3. You would want the Mazda 3 springs here: https://corksport.com/corksport-mazda-3-lowering-spring-set.html
Do you still need a alignment after installing the springs? Since it was just about an inch drop I was just wondering.
Yes, an alignment is recommended anytime you change suspension components, even if it was to swap and keep the stock height.
what is the largest tire size that will work with these springs? i have 225/45/18 on stock wheels.
I would recommend looking at the "Will it Fit" Thread on Mazdaspeed Forums: http://www.mazdaspeedforums.org/forum/f319/ultimate-will-they-fit-thread-everything-you-101473/
at what wheel specs do you recommend rolling fenders? i have 18x8 +45 with 245/40r18

I was wondering if I got these lowering springs would I need a camber kit for the front or back? If so what exactly would I need? I have a Gen2 Mazdaspeed 3.
No camber kit is required when installing our lowering springs. A factory alignment is possible on the stock camber setup.
I just bought a set of Koni Yellow shocks/struts and had a question - do I need to trim my rear bump stops after installing these springs? Koni said it should not but trimming directions should come from the spring manufacturer. There is a lot of conflicting information online and I'd love a solid answer!

If you want extra suspension travel you will need to cut the bump stops. We recommend cutting them, but some people prefer to leave them.
Do i need to replace my struts if i want to install these? 2010 MS3
You can use the stock struts with these springs.
