    My new suspension



    There it is, H&R springs with Tociko S/R struts. I paid $233 shipped for the springs and bump stop/boots from www.tirerack.com, and $187 shipped for the struts from www.oemfordparts.com.

            Awesome! You'll love the car once they're on. Are those the Protege or the MX3 H&R springs?

            while you're out there, you might as well adjust your air/fuel ratio by smell... and your tire pressure by ride height

              Protege ones, I hate the fact of worrying about the intercooler hitting curbs when parking. Or when I go down a steep driveway I hate when I scrape my bumper. Plus I'm gonna be getting a GTR bumper so I'd kill my self if I scraped it. I hear the MX-3 ones lower the Protege 2" rather than 1.3", just too much for me.

                has anyone else confirmed the lowering of the MX3 H&R springs to be 2"????

                I just got mine in today... a 2" drop would mess up my plans for 17's

                Darryl i know you have experience with these? any word??

                  The MX3 H&Rs lower the car 1.25 front / 1.5 rear MAX!!!! There was hardly a difference from my Eibachs (1.25) to these. If anything the rear came down a MAX of .5 but thats it. it's not 2", whoever said that has no clue.

                  They lower the MX3 1.3 and 1.5 (IIRC)...it's a heavier car than the pro with the same basic suspension...how the hell can they lower a lighter car more?
