What Suspension Should I Get?

[zambonicheeks]

I'm looking to replace the suspension on my 2002 Protege5, but I'm not sure what to buy. I was wonder maybe if Focus SVT suspension would work? That'd be fun...

all depends on what you want.

So it sounds like my options aren't very limited, and that I can pretty much get whatever I want as long as it fits?

your options are only limited to what fits your budget.

there's tons of suspension options for this car, you can pay as low as $100 for just some lowering springs or over $1k for coilovers. like jbeck said it depends on how much you're willing to spend...

Does anyone else have issues with the tires rubbing in the back when there are people sitting in the back? If someone heavy sits in the back of my car it drops almost all the way down to the tire. I'm not looking for performance suspension, I just need a way to fix this problem and am obviously not against upgrading in the process. Thanks everyone for replying. This is a stellar forum.

You'll want stiffer struts like tokicos

i have tokico blues and the eibach pro kit. no rubbing in the rear. im on 16 w/ 195/50/16 (balloons) and i dont have a rubbing issue. bellow is a pic w/o anyone in. and its basically the same with people in it. maybe 1/4 inch lower. ill get some friends to sit in it later tonight. sorry for the dirty car(weve had some crazy rain lately)

after i took it i forgot to mention that i am on a slanted driveway so it may show a larger wheel gap then what there really is.
