blocking it without the flip kit will only be lifting it up like sleepy said because the axle is under the springs. When you use the flip kit the axle will be on top of the springs giving it an instant drop of probably 3 to 4 inches. Then you can add blocks from there if need be.

Just buy the flip kit man it's only $50. I've always been against cutting the springs but that's just my opinion. The camber is going to eat up your tires if you go more than a one inch drop by cutting the springs.

I know the cost of lowered i-beams may seem like a lot especially when your short on cash but it's worth it.

ill more then likely end up buyin the kit from sleepyspeed, and ill just have to deal with the camber. lol my buddy has a ranger baged on stock i beams and does pretty good so i really dont wanna dish out 500 bucks for dream beams. haha

byt seriously, i wish i would have kepy my mazda!!! there are a few that ive spotted around here and im gonna try to talk to them about possible trading. haha

camber will eat up your tires FAST!!! you will get annoyed at having flats and having to dish out cash for tires. but its your money waste it how you wanna.

let me know I will give the measurements of the flips, we all know what it's like to not have the cash from time to time.
