Sorry for the delayed reply everyone. My wife was injured and we had to get several different Drs opinions, schedule and have surgery and pre and post surgery I've had to pretty much wait on her hand and foot while trying to keep my job because she's not mobile. She is now at least able to get...
They were first installed with Tokico blues with H&R lowering springs (also for sale) and in some extreme situations (think high speed hitting a dip in the road) there would be an occasional rub, but nothing in daily driving, no.
They were later installed with KW Variant 2s (also for sale) and...
I pulled these off of my 2002.5 Mazda Protege ES, which I am returning to stock and selling.
These are 15 mm spacers (I needed them to clear my StopTech ST40 BBK, also for sale). These have been powder coated red.
These still cost $120 new. H&R part number is: 30656710
I am selling them for...
Never got around to installing this on my Protege and am now selling my Protege so it's time for this to go.
I had the mounting brackets powder coated red (to match my other red powder coated parts on the car), but other than that this is a completely brand new CorkSport rear strut tower brace...
Pulled these off of my Protege (which I am returning to stock and selling). Originally bought these to fit over my StopTech St40 BBK (they do, with spacers). Two of the four wheels are in good condition with only one small curb rash on each. One wheel is in very good condition with no curb...

These are ultra-high performance all-season tires - excellent in the summer, in the rain, snow and ice.
These tires received Tire Rack's highest road test rating for ultra-high performance all season tires, beating out the Bridgestone Potenza, the Eagle...
Ok, this thread has been really informative . . . and really confusing.
Would anyone be able to put together a summary post (or edit an existing post) to arrive at a definitive "how-to" for this. I need end links badly, and was going to wait for AAC (they make nice stuff) but if I can pull this...
Just to let you know - turns out you were indeed correct. I am running a 15 mm rear spacer (to match the fronts) with a 17x7 wheel (+50 mm offset) and 205/45/17s with very minimal rubbing (only on big bumps). To be fair my car is also running KW v2s and custom rear links (sold by AAC) and I am...
Now have KW variant 2s and love 'em. Just as firm (without being harsh) as the Tokicos. Now, are they worth nearly 3x the price of Tokico's? Well, for me they are (car is a daily driver). Of course if KW v2s are out of your price range, then it's a moot point.
Found a site that lists several JDM MSP flywheels here: http://www.japanparts.com/db/partslist.php?KEYWORD=&submit_x=49&submit_y=10&dealer=6&car=&middlesmall=1:4&maker=&VOLKEY=&page=3
All appear to be in the $700 - $900 range, however, and I can't tell exactly which one would be applicable to...
Have you run 15mm spacers or do you know someone who has -- or did you pretty much just do the math and figured that the net offset is ok? Just curious. I'll find out soon enough, in any case . . . getting all of my suspension bits installed late next week (including the spacers).
Going in...
205/45/17 on 17" Kosei K1 TS (+50 offset)
Ok I'm an idiot -- if you would be so kind: WTF is "scrub radius" and how does it apply here?
I think part of the darty-ness is the fact that my LCA are shot, so things are sloppy and then I have to correct my line often (even on the highway). New...
Well, since I didn't get any answers to this, I'm going to give 15mm a try very shortly (to match my fronts). Will report back with results.
Wheels are a +50 offset, so, if my math is right, this should make the net offset +35??
