welcome! sounds like you're jumping right into the car, which is awesome! haha

anyways, mx3 interior is sexy, that's a definite go!

coilovers help a lot, what are you thinkin? sleeve kit or full coilover setup? sleeve kits from Ground Control are like $400, and the Ksports are around 1K lol.

If you want better handling too, replace your swaybar bushings with Energy Suspension bushings, it'll keep it tight!

Pacesetter catbacks are garbage fyi, raspy and thin mild steel that rots, check this out! fit's and it's all mandrel bent, just supply your own muffler and resonator at an exhaust shop and then you're set!

I planned on a set of ebay dropzone coilovers. Just to get lowered and a lil better handling at a cheap price. Im on a kinda tight budget lol. But that sucks bout the pacesetter it was a good deal no wonder they were so cheap. Any ideas on where to hunt for mx3 interior? Ive checked two junkyards and nothing also i really want familia taillights, thatd be raw as hell soo if anyone knows any good websites for these things it would be greatly appreciated.

you can post a want to buy add in the proper section for the Familia rear garnish and for the mx-3 seats, maybe someone near you knows of something.

Dropzones are pretty stiff, just an fyi, around 450lbs in the front, and 350lbs in the rear as compared to the stock @ 160/90, so it'll ride pretty rough lol.

I'd just get the true bendz tubing kit and add your components to it, it's a good kit, I plan on getting one shortly as well.

Alright i will do that. Do u have any ideas on any low priced but good springs then? Or should i just save my money for a good set? Also what muffler would u suggest for a good strong sound? Im the only guy around here with a bg so im sure im gonna be askin many many questions here regularly lol

[Mazda_Powered]

yea, I understand that one lol, not too many people in the area I'm in as well.

A good inexpensive lowering spring is from Megan racing, they're 300/250 spring rates and lower the front just a hair more than the rear, so it has a nice aggressive stance, it's around a 2" drop, you can find them on Ebay.

Muffler? I always go Mangnaflow chambered mufflers, but any chambered muffler should keep noise to a respectable level lol.

[kam13]

I was thinkin magnaflow. But some cars they just dont sound right on haha thanks for the help. Ill have pics up when i start with it.

Welcome here!
Good start I see and ya here you will find everything for your car. Just like Mazdapowered is saying, Hes putting you in the right direction. Just search on here for what ever it is you want/need to know, its all here.

And dam Im scratching at going with that exhaust kit for 3in all the way thru instead of my restrictive 2.5in after DP back. Thanks for reminding me Jack! haha

Do they even have the full ksport coilover kit for a 93 protege sedan? Or do you have to get the ones from the 323 hatch or from the 95-98 protege sedan?

[bogaut]

mx3 ones work

[Jeff_93Protegé]

The ksports for the mx3 would fit the 93 4door?

[bogaut]

yup

[Jeff_93Protegé]

Well thanks man i appreciate it. But just to be sure, they fit in the front and back?

[bogaut]

yeah they are
