Haven't gotten to the suspension yet as I just started a new job and i don't have quite the spare time i used to have. i did however finish up my rear deck lid speaker install.
put down the fatmat and installed the speakers. i noticed a huge difference right away with road noise and my rear speakers sound way better in the base dept.

What was brand of your old rear speakers? My front door ones was in such ugly appearance, I've replaced them, but rears are fine.
Is your color code 6N? It is very similar to mine...sigpic

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.

nope trust me on this. my coilover spring rubs on the sidewall of the tire. i have to run 5mm spacers as it is. the hankook's that were on the wheels were 205/50r15's. same "size" as the sumitomo's that were on there before guess if the tire is a true 205/50r15 it would fit. non of the ones around my house did.
let this be a lesson for you kids, just cause stuff "fits" doesn't mean it won't affect other things. Sure GC coilvers will "fit" the rears of an awd protege, you just run into other issues.

"There's a hierarchy of insanity in motor sports. Normal people think all racers are crazy. Folks who race sedans think people in open-wheel cars are nuts. People who race cars of any kind think motorcycle racers are absolutely off theirs meds. But there's one group that everyone agrees is made up of the most extreme, the most daring, and absolutely craziest people in racing - rally racers."
