....your butt dyno probably not accurate,
how you gonna feed the chassis flex?
it's good to have but it's not gonna do much, it's like one of those do and and forget it mod.
invest in a set of anti-sway bar instead -

I used the one that goes for mx3, and there's 1 hole on each side should be drilled to fit right. On top of that I'm not sure how others did that, but I had to cut some metall holder or whatever it called to make brace sit right.Originally posted by murcielago98 protege LX for appearance

nope 3rd gen upper strut mounts are different.Originally posted by midnightblue97
I do however think that we may be able to use a full coilover system for the 3rd gen Protege's...
The rear sway bar connects to the same point and although the front sway bar connects to the front strut. We don't have to worry about that because our 2nd gens sway bar connects to the front A- armComment

we could use coilovers from a third gen in our cars?Comment
