Aggressive fitment anyone?!

[.mazda.speed.]

lol ya i figured i test fitted just the wheels they poke probably an inch. Whatever wheels were just laying around I cant go back to stock fitment Im coming from a 18x10.5.

What size tire would you guys reccomend. I dont know much about protege fitment, I dont want tooo much wheel gap the springs are supposed to have a 2" drop

Woah, just discovered this thread. This is whats good, glad I found it.

Im curious of what suspension people are running.

I came across these and it seems too good to be true. Can I just install these and leave the stock shocks? Thats what they make it sound like.

those are sleeves, which suck unless you cash out on some nice shocks. When its all said and done you'll end up spending almost just as much as full bodies. Might as well bite the bullet and go with those. They'll run you a grand for a decent set but its more than worth it.

I found some Megan Racing coil overs for 833.00+ shipping.

They look pretty good, adjustable dampening and ride height. Any thoughts on these or suggestions?

I'd spend the extra couple hundred and step up to BCs, but its your money.

Got BC's from THmotorsports, talk to adam and mention your the forum. BCs are tried and proven, for another $150 I'd sooner buy the standard. Pm me for more info, not sure they want everyone to know the deals we can get..
Or you could try yellowspeeds, which are basically the same thing but yellow.

Just about every coilover made for the protege is made in the same factory in Taiwan. KW, Fortune Auto and AWR are the only exception I think.

Shiet, i'm going through my 4th set this month trying to find the right fitment!

BC Racing FTW

I got BC's for 995$. An awesome price considering I did not pay any shipping since they had to be ordered, bough them locally, and did not paid any tax!!!!
