    My Protege5 now on Eibachs

    My kids bought me some Eibachs for Fathers Day and finally got them installed. Took around 2 hours to get them swapped out. The biggest problem was the sway bar link ends. Those hex key 14mm nuts are a pain in the butt. PB Blaster is your frend when it comes to getting these off. They are replacing the Goldlines I had installed but the back was sagging too much for my likings. Ride is similar, the back springs seem to be a little bit more firm but at least I don't rub in the back anymore. With friends int eh back seat I would rub prolly due to it was dropped so much and the 200lb sub box/amp I have in the trunk?

    If you own a late model Protege5 and you want to lower your car w/some rough looking Goldlines that were on my car for less than a year w/15k miles on them, but in Ohio where the salt took pretty much destroyed the coating, please pm me.

      I still hang out at all 3. tristateprotos, protege5 and here.
      Just this forum seems to be more for the older proteges that I know very little about so I dont have much input...

                          Personally I love the exhaust note. Not too buzzy, not too tin canny. Its pretty quiet unless you stomp the throttle. At highway speeds some people state it drones a little but that is what a stereo is for?! It was well worth the money spent to me. Yeah, the front lip has been on my mind. Actually contemplated buying the mazdaspeed lip.
