If steve got them from the same guy he got the bumper from then those were suppose to be mine lol. I'm glad he found someone local to test them. From what I was told(if they are the same ones) they are a cheaper alternative to the ksports. That's about all the info I have on them though.1993 Protege LX-Midnight's shadow SOLD

Didn't do anything today, but I thought people might enjoy a recap of my past week:
Last Thurs/Fri: Replaced both front wheel bearings and seals, dropped front subframe to fix front sway bar mounting points. One of my brackets broke and the bolt for the other one was backing out after a few track days. I fashioned an new bracket out of some ****ty bar stock and emptied an entire bottle of loctite on the bolts to make sure I didn't have any more difficulties. I also reset the front toe and did my usual pre-track day inspection.
Sunday: Drove to Watkins Glen for 2-day HPDE.
Monday: On the last lap of the last session of the day I spun the car at about 80 in the bus stop--a really fun chicane at the end of the back straight. The tail broke free and I ended up in the gravel trap about 15 feet from the tire wall. The fire/medical crew, who were stationed right there, were laughing their asses off. This spin ****ed up my RR wheel bearing and loosened my LF axle nut. It also put about a 1/2 pound of gravel in the various crevices of the underbody, so the car was rattling and ****ting gravel for a while. I saved a fistful.
Tuesday: Discovered that there were absolutely no axle nut sockets in the town of Watkins Glen. Tracked car anyway as axle nut was not all that loose and appeared to be holding in place. Made my only pass of a fellow Advanced Group driver--a 944 that promptly passed me again on the long back straight. The car was pretty angry by the end of the day and is now groaning pretty bad. But I do have a few laps of me on film. My friend in tailed me in his Miata with a camera mounted in his bumper. It'll be up on youtube soon enough.

The coilovers say Ford Liata 98-00. I was told thats the same as a Laser. Either way they bolted up in less than a hour and the car is stiffer than ****. I tried mounting them on a fwd car also just for a fitment test and they bolt straight up! Once I get my car on the road again Ill let you all know how it rides.
