i expected it to be lower..

the difference isn't that far from factory, within 2% give or take (depending on tire width)

95Pro, did younotice any difference with the KYB-GR2? I ordered mine last week. Should have em in, in about a week.

It is prolly due to the angle where the picture was taken. But pigeon's pro looked pretty low. Now I can't wait to get my springs. Its gonna be a 2" drop.

It's kinda sorta difficult to say. . . since I swapped the springs at the same time. I will say this, my old struts were shot to hell. So bad that I thought I was just bad at driving stick (not smooth), but when the new suspension went in, it was sooooooooo much smoother.

[pigeon]

im not sure if struts have an effect on ride height, but mine are all dead
my GR2's are on order

that could be why mine look lower... but i also have 14's too

[95ProLeila]

I have 14's. I don't think struts affect ride height drastically, unless you have the adjustable ones. . . too bad they're 170 each

hehe, rims always make a 2nd gen look so much better.

I have the msp shocks, but I am not sure if they have anything to do with the height of my car. I don't even bother with careing about the height of my protege anymore.

btw: I rather have those 17's than steelies. lol.

[95ProLeila]

yeah, well I dont have a spare $800 so pbthh, lol. I wish I had money for wheels, but I just spend. . . uh, a lot on suspension.

um, are you making fun of my performance steelies bruce?

[magicfox32]

lol, well I dont care abou the height changes, I mean the ride quality, which you said would be smooth. Yea they told me mine were shot to hell and I needed to replace them within a month or I would be in deep doo doo. The place I got mine are on backorder....

[95ProLeila]

Having bad struts isn't gonna do anything that bad. Get them from Tire Rack man! lol, they're in stock and cheaper. Right now, pretty much anything would be smoother than having bad struts, but the KYB's should smooth it out nicely, you might notice a subtle decrease in body roll, nose dive, and tail squat. Another thing to check is your strut mounts, make sure they aren't bad, because they can trash struts in a hurry if they are. But seriously, don't worry about getting it done right away, I drove on bad struts for about a year, lol.

[magicfox32]

Well im not in a huge hurry, its just that my front two struts, compress, but then they wont depress or go back out, which i heard isnt good. they are basically stuck in.

[95ProLeila]

yeah, but it's not going to do huge damage. Just do it when you do it.
