Getting New Springs

[nsprotege]

So I decided to get myself a set of Racing Beat springs for the car. They are the stock MSP springs. They should lower my car 0.75" up front, and 0.875" in back. Not too much, but since my car is driven all year round, and the roads here suck, I didn't want to lower it too much. Just sent the money off today, hopefully I'll have them in 2 or 3 weeks. Can't wait - the car is coming along nicely - maybe someday I'll even get some pics up on here.

[nsprotege]

I'm not too sure when I'll get them on - they're already nice and clean (they are brand new). I'll probably be putting them on in June.

You will need an alignment after dropping her.

The springs on the Protege's are pretty easy to change. You can do all 4 without even taking off the end links is they give you trouble.

When doing the rear, you just have to unbolt the 4 bolts holding the sway-bar to the bottom of the car and that will allow you to drop the rear struts enough to get the springs off.

Easy two man job.....
