So good news is................I've got a 2" drop all the way around. Took quite a while. but few tries and it's solid, rides way above expectations!!!! Bad news..........Need to ask if I should get a Camber kit, and alignment? smooth running no drift or pull, no toe in or out! Have noticed some 1st gens say no and some say yes, I have not seen any coments about this topic in 2gen threads!!! Anyone, will post new pic after I give her a bath!

definitely get an alignment. you may not notice it but your tires are already balding unevenly.
remembered a time back home (with a different car) installed brand new bridgestone 195 / 50 R 15. felt PERFECT so didnt bother getting an alignment. one day my brother used the car, coming back home i was holding the gate of the house when i saw him turn and saw the inside all bald while the outside were still like new.

for allignment..u need this if you going to keep your mags and tyres for a while..as you don't want to torture your expensve tyres..it's for your own safety as well.. Im glad u pick the 2' drop..as 95-98 won't go low as much as we want..the stock shocks is pretty high so no matter how short springs you put it on..did you realize that ur 2' drop springs ..did not actually low your car for 2'nchez???? now if anyone you guys saw a super low 95-98 protege..it's either they compressed the stock shocks..or installed a adjustable shocks suspension..or maybe the trunk is full of weight lol..
Going to get that alingment this week!!! no sagging or settling, think it feels pretty good, still feel no pull or see any toe in or out but piece of mind sounds best to me at this point!!! Didn't give her a bath in this pic but will post more later and here she is. you can see the difference between the pics below and on the left the difference in drop!!!!!
i am lowering my 98protege lx today a 1.8 front/ 1.7 rear sprint springs with kyb gr2s and new top mounting bearing plate. if all goes well ill have a pic for you later today so wish me luck.
