    what would you do

    ok so i have a buget of $500 for my strut and springs.
    I was think of goin' with Kyb GR-2 struts and eibach springs.
    what would you do?

    94 Protege LX: HX-35, Megasquit, ect...
    98 Subaru Legacy GT-DD: 1 inch lift, and all the standard N/A stuff.

    If I were you, I'd get the ZX2 Tokico struts for the Eibach springs. With the cash left over, get a rear sway bar or Darry's lower front tie-bar.

        Get the S/R Tokico's... they were made specifically for the Eibach springs.

        To find the S/R Tokis, go to ZXTuner.com/OEMFordParts.com/MyFordPerformance/CTAMotorsports.com
        14x6 Miata 7-spoke alloys, 20mm Protege Swaybar, Progress Suspension Springs, Kemanized Intake with K&N Filtercharger, Iceman Cold Air Intake, B&M Short Throw Shifter, CWQ3 S/R PCM, and one hell of a reckless driver.

          look in the group buy section of this site. I dunno if Mazdaracer still has the GB open or not.

                that is what I am told by most ppl on here.

                I have the ZX2/sprint spring combo and I like it, but my car is a bit low for my liking. I am looking to switch to either the eibach or MX3 H&R. The H&R are the stiffer of the 2 from what I have read.

                        Actual proof of which springs are stiffer? The MX3 H&R springs are the stiffest you could buy before going to coilovers.
                        As far as the ZX2 struts, they are the best bang for the buck investment. I've had the Tokico/Eibach combo on my car for about a year now and am really happy with it.

                            all links needed are in MazdaRacer's suspension starters guide. Sticky in the suspension section for 1st gens.

                              So the escort ZX2 struts are the same exact type used for the first gen protege DX & LX? That price seems pretty cheap i think i will get those, thanks for the link.
