What is the benefit of having the ZX2 struts? Is this the correct aplication for the 1st gen upgrade?

yes, those are them. Depending on what his shipping charge is, thats a good deal. and don't be fooled, they may list for $189, but shipped to your door is ~$170 from Southwest Ford. Although you will still need to order the front thrust bearings from Southwest Ford (or another Ford dealer) anyway.
the benefit is better handling and a more closely matched valving for stiffer performance springs.
Then go here to install them.

I want those too.
Would that southwest ford sell the struts to the public? I live in Dallas (I know they are in Weatherford), and if it is cheaper, I would rather just drive over there to get them no rather than wait for them to be shipped.Comment

I don't see why they wouldn't do it. Give them a call and ask. Here's their contact info:Originally posted by D323

ok, has anyone put them on the 323? I own a 323 and I know that they are supposed to be the same as a protge, but my luck I would get them and the 323, would be slightly different.Comment

Nope, I have them on my 323. Nothing different from the protege swap. Aside from grinding of the thurst bearing mounts, it's practically like an OEM replacement. I also have the ZX2 eibach lowering springs.Dan

sweet. Just ordered them today. Should be at my door shortly. Next got some springs lined up.Comment

Shoulda ordered them from the same place, pretty good price on them (at least not any more expensive that anywhere else).
Though I hear the H&R springs for the MX-3 have a stiffer spring rate front and rear. Those would be nice too

Yes, the MX3 H&R + S/R struts is a nice combo. Not to to rough on the street and still decent performance under racing conditions.Originally posted by funkdaddysmack

IIRC, these are the spring rates.
Eibach front = 180#
MX3 H&R front = 200#
Eibach rear = 150#
MX3 H&R rear = 180#
