I understand that... but to postulate "My Protege, lowered!" is putting a pretty long tail on that kite. Get a clue

just because its not slammed doesnt mean its not lowered.

looks good ryan

Screw that, it handles perfectly and still has a good ride quality. This is an economy car, not a race car, I don't need it to have 1" of suspension travel and bounce off of every road inperfection.

i agree. it looks really good! how many inches of a drop is this setup?

3 pics with the 16"s in the first post. My camera doesn't like darkness...

Edit: Nice 115 pull btw, hard to make out what your saying though. Couldnt see your needles either. What was your rpm start/finish?

Yeah, the car is so loud the audio got messed up. I'll have to cover the mic with something for future Protege videos. As far as RPM, 75mph is roughly 3,900rpm, and I ran it to around 6K I think.

well i already posted "pics or die", but i must've missed this at work.


looks GREAT! (man i've been waiting a long time to say that!)

that car is lowered perfectly. i love the look, it will look even better with the 16s. good investment.

It's perfect! I took some exit/on ramps at blazing speed and it was completely stable...before it was stable but you could feel the back end want to go, and the body roll was pretty excessive...but now it's flat and really carves the corners. The negative camber helps a lot too.

The pics with the 16"s were from yesterday...I think it might look taller in the pics because the car is parked on the hill, and also on the curb. If you look at my signature picture, which was with the stock springs/struts, you'll see the difference pretty well.
