goldline springs are pretty affordable and have a nice drop. here is a link to my old thread with the springs.

I have the H&R on the MSP and S-Techs on the LX. I like the H&R better. The stance is much nicer and the drop is truly about 1.3". The S-Techs is a little off balance. The front drops a ton but the rear dropped barely any. Keep in mind also, the MSP is already lower than the regular protege's. The drop listings are usually in reference to the regular protege.

PS. Looking at other people's MSPs, if I had to pick another set, I would probably get Goldlines. They are pretty low, and I feel a little too soft. But they look good. Otherwise, coilovers FTW

thanks. ok so your saying the H&R springs are better??

Yeh I like them better. The S-techs are stiffer, but that doesn't mean the H&R are bouncy or anything. The H&R is the better deal I feel.

the rears are higher because of the different perch on the stock MSP rear struts. on other aftermarket struts (HP, Illuminas, etc) the perch is different, so the drop will be normal.
