    Protege5 Outback?

    (uhm)(uhm) No lift I have ever installed has required the use of shorter sway links. Lifts increase the distance of, almost, everything. Check your math. I can guarantee a lift on a p5 is different than on a truck. I agree lifting truck, longer end links. But when the mounting hole for the...

    Protege5 Outback?

    Have you lowered or even worked on the suspension. The end link is attached the strut and when you lower that strut goes further up into the cavity. Making you need a longer end link, because now the strut is effectively further away from the bottom of the car. Lowering the body right? So it...

    Question about MSP struts

    If you go with oem MSP replacements it will ride lower because off the higher spring perch. The back will sag a bit. Not really noticeable IMO.

    Need to replace my rear struts, should I go with OEM parts or aftermarket?

    I am doing my rears this weekend. Learned from doing the fronts, just cut the end links in half, then cut them off the sway. First one took me 2 hours, then decided I would just cut them off. Put a jack under the control arm (front), on the knuckle (rear) and pump it up until the sway bar is...

    Need some new struts!!!

    go with the matched tokico springs and shocks. Moderate drop only 1.4 front and 1.7 rear. They feel close to stock, just a little more harsh. The kit number is the HPK247 I got mine on street unit for 515 shipped for all four, used a coupon code I found online. You will probably need new...
