They look good, but that's about all I can see. It doesn't show spring rate or anything like that.

Anyone here running these springs on their Proteges?

They are good if you just want a drop for looks, but quite sloshy on handling. I would guess the stock p5 springs would be better for handling....it depends on your goals I guess

If that's the case then they are at the bottom of my list. I'm looking for the best handling springs on the market with a minimal to moderate drop.

This is what I'm concidering so far:

Racing Beat Springs
Skunk2 Coilovers
Ground Control Coilovers
H&R

I'll be upgrading my struts later on with the Mazdaspeed units.

skunk2 = bad ride from what i understand,
h&r is pretty good, i myself am going jic when i get to the springs.

from the reasearch I have done...the EIBACH springs are the way to go.....moderate drop, decent ride, increase handling.

Eibach springs are progressive, unlike the Racing Beat and coilovers. It suppose to give you a stock-like ride until cornering.

Handling is my number 1 priority when it comes to springs and shocks, looks is 2nd, and ride is last.

I really don't mind a bumpy ride so long the handling it's improved.

Update: Racing Beat springs have been purchased

I'll be doing the installation next weekend...

Thanks for all the replies, guys!
