      I used Tokico HP Blues with Evotion springs, and Mazdaspeed Protege mounts, all for a 3rd gen Protege. Fit is fine, ride is fantastic. Sorry for the crappy shot. You can see how bad it needs wheel spacers.

      Here's a comparison shot, in case anyone wants to put BJ struts on a GE/GF:

      The angles all match up.

      Edit: Forgot to mention; I haven't done the rear yet, just the front. I am confident it will go just as smoothly. Running some bad ass rake right now.

              Got my rear wheel bearings changed, and my rear BJ struts installed.

              Tapatalk has been rotating my pictures lately, but here's the BJ Tokico in the 626.

              The mounts for the BJ only have 3 studs, but they all line up perfectly. The studs and the bracket for the sway bar links were the only differences.

              Oh, and the shaft comes up higher through the mount, so the dust caps didn't fit.

                Put my extended braided brake lines on, bleed them. Also put on my Yakima rack from the wagon. Went up and found some snow. Found about 18 inches towards the top at 8000ft.

                I've decided that my car is a girl, she's picky as hell, won't listen to me, always wants to fight me, and when i give her presents it's never good enough and she always wants more.

                  ^^looks like so much fun.

                  I cleaned the k&n drop in and reoiled it, cleaned the maf and installed a new o2 in the mpv yesterday. Had help with the o2. Cleared all the codes it was shooting. Runs like a champ once again. Hopefully this lasts another couple years.

                            Took it for an alignment today. Not impressed, the steering wheel is about 15 degrees off center, I like to drive with two hands on the wheel, so it really sucks. Taking it back on Thursday.

                              put the center console back together and made a shift boot from one of my dad's old handkerchiefs.

                                Put my parts car in the garage.











                                Took some parts off said parts car and put them on my real car.
