Yeah it's DEF the brake line. The struts are perfect I actually described it wrong. The car doesn't bottom out I just have the car too low as in the tires rub when I hit a dip. So I need to raise the car after recently lowering it. After the springs settled the car sat lower and rubs. First few days it was perfect height....then RUB.

OK so I ordered new endlinks and new bushing through TBK. Im gonna raise the car install these and then the brakes are next. I might be switching Haltech's too hopefully if I can get my F10X sold. I want to go with an E8 but will settle for an E6X if I can't get the other for the right price.
Never considered it....fill me in. MS6/MS3 same brakes right. If so then I wouldn't mind swapping to those instead. Even bigger right? If it's a direct swap I would be down.

Well from what i've read the rears wont work since the brake line wont reach. Ill sell you my soon to be "old" willwoods front and rears though or the MSP front setup I have in the garage! Im gonna go post the MSPs later today. I actually just made the call about getting this setup. I'm a brake *****.
I have only seen one of these in real life i friggin followed it for like 25 minutes i fell in love with that car and the mazda protege speed... could never afford one sadly... so i got a protege 5 the car i wanted when it first came out hehe sweet lil wagon the pro 5 but damn sick ride you got
Thanks man I really appreciate it. You can actually find MP3's fairly cheap these days. I only paid 7k for mine some 3 years ago and it had around 65k on it. As long as you can bargain you can get some good prices on them.
So this is something i've been dreaming for some time now... Looking for one with some 50k+ miles 2002+ with the second gen motor and headlights(like on the yellow one) and I wanna put the aero kit with either the GT3 wing or the S looking one. I love them both. The other upgrade would bethis roll cage..
It's so close I can taste it...I gotta stop modding the MP3 though. It's just such a huge money pit. I just gotta do the Haltech and brakes so I can focus on maintaining it. I just have to keep my eyes on the prize. lol
