55k?? That's insanely low mileage for an MSP these days!

Somewhere I have a YouTube video bookmarked of a non USDM market P5 (Astina?, SP20?) doing legit AWD donuts in the snow. It's a great video.

Gotcha. There's a guy local to me who's doing a turbo swap on his yellow P5. Maybe him, maybe not. His P5 has a cool history though and he's doing some pretty cool stuff with it.

Replaced my front struts this last weekend. I had previously asked on here about what brand to go with, and ended up purchasing some ACDelco pre-assembled struts. They went in real quick, maybe 30 minutes per side. I think mostly because I had the knuckles already off the car this summer...

Airsofthawaii, those are some real good looking P5s! I am a little jealous. Hmm, not sure how big the turbo P5 community is these days, but I'm in Oregon and I know at least one person locally who is currently building a turbo P5...wonder if one was on your delivery list. I have to agree with...

Dang it you're making me want to spend more money on my P5 now...

I usually make a fuss of people modifying their automatic cars, but yours looks absolutely sick 😍 I will say though, my brother has an 03 Sedan with the Tiptronic transmission and driving that back to back with my manual 03 P5 is an experience. From a dead stop, the Tiptronic has a ton of...

I see. His bumper looks aftermarket but wasn't sure about the fog light deletes. Man, if I could get a hold of some of the factory ones, I'd love to make a CAD model and try 3D printing some of my own. Haha yes, I always remember your P5 as being the lowered silver one with the Tiptronic...

Aw this feels like the end of a small era on this forum. What are we gonna do without PCB always coming to the rescue with the shop manual diagrams??? Okay but actually does your parts car have an MSP bumper and the rare fog light deletes??

I checked RockAuto briefly and for front QuickStruts and individual struts, the part numbers for all that I saw looked the same between the MSP and P5. It's hard to find a definitively separated MP3 vehicle in RockAuto but for a 2001 Sedan, it's the same too. Kind of disappointing if you have...

Will do. The ones I've considered most are the Tein H-Tech Protege5's. You can still find them for ~$230 on eBay and they have a pretty mild drop and (comparatively) a mild spring rate, if the numbers are to be believed. Yes, those are the ones that come to mind. But I wouldn't consider...

Thats odd, I haven't heard much other than good about KYBs. Regardless, I grabbed a set of ACDelco quickstruts. I couldn't imagine having reliability issues with springs. I would guess that the failure mode for them is all or nothing. Just going off intuition though, I could (and very well...

Sweet! Nicely done.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that your best guess for getting an answer will either be to use the search and read old posts, or to join a more active "tuner" group like some of the ones on Facebook. I think the majority of people on here own P5s are daily drivers, and aren't going to...

Okay. All very good information, thank you PCB. I will go ahead and pick up a set of strut assemblies for the front - I don't mind spending the extra money since they probably need to be replaced anyways, and I gosh darn hope that clunk goes away. I'll grab some camber bolts as well, but...

I'm only seeing Monroe QuickStruts for the rear, and I'm doing the front's. Am I just blind or do they not make QuickStruts for the front's? The only Monroe branded ones are the "Roadmatic."

I see. I think I was getting the KYBs mixed up with Monroe. I will take a look at the Monroes. I do hope that the Monroes hold up as well as the OEM struts have. I'm pretty hard on my car and the OEM struts are still good at 180k (unless someone replaced them with new OEM ones, which seems...
