It is plug and play, I have a P5 harness but it's such a PITA to install it wasn't worth it for me. You basically have to remove the fender to put it in.

On a side note I managed to acquire a 'partial sponsorship' from BC Racing and was offered BR coils for my MSP for about half price. Pretty stoked about that

It can possibly be done without but it would be difficult, I got mine from a junkyard and took the fender off to get the connector out. So much easier to just wire it into the plugs, but it's technically not the 'correct' way.

It's the side skirts that are a pain, hard to pry them off without damaging them, plus the clips always break and I am anal about stuff so little things like taking the paint off the bolts when you remove it bugs me. Not that most people would care about that.

Basically just emailed them from my Cobb email and they offered it to me, can't wait to get them!
Doing a clutch in one of my dad's friend's 02 Protege tomorrow, fun stuff.

I'm happy with my BC coils so far. I have the extreme low version, they feel pretty good and the car is ... extremely low.

I plan on just getting the regular ones, but if they are the same price I may get the lower ones. I am not looking to slam the car, I prefer a low but functional stance.
Clutch job turned out to just be a slave/master cylinder replacement on the 02 Protege LX I was working on today. The VC gasket had leaked oil all over the motor, the shifter bushings were completely gone (never seen such a sloppy shifter before) and all 4 motor mounts were completely toast, as in the rubber was almost completely gone. I haven't driven a N/A protege in a few years, I forgot how slow they are. Makes me think twice about getting a P5 for a daily.

can you get replacement coilover springs for 50% off too?i went too soft in the rear. it's comfy but im regretting it
Why do you regret the softer springs? Does the car rub or something?
6/4 are the standard rates right? I guess I will ask about changing the spring rates.

you guys must have some nice roads... i think my sportlines are 4k front and almost too stiff for driving around town here and all the million potholes. my dampers are certainly done though. cant bring myself to spend the money on replacement dampers when adjustables can be had for a few hundred more.
softer springs would make the car lazier id think. im still amazed full scale cars don't have downstop adjustment.
