first off, HOW IN THE **** ARE YOU IN OKC AND WE HAVE NOT HAD A CAR MEET IN OKLAHOMA YET!!?!?!?!?!

Secondly, I have tein springs...i would do a search to get more reviews, but they are good springs for looks more than performance...i personally am quite satisfied with them.
 
if i ever get my springs the Tein S-Tech springs i will let u know about the ride, I plan to have them on before the show saturday.
 
i am sitting at my apartment in OKC as we speek, i know karen (rdshark1 : yellow p5 aka: the banana, and jeff (forgot his sn but he has a 2002 dx with a msp conversion)
 
well what the ****, if it wasnt my anniversary i would say we should get together...when are we gonna have meet?
 
first of all the tein s-techs provide a really nice drop. depending on what you want, weather it be preformace or looks, i would say preformance wise, after doing a lot of research on those springs and others, the racing beats are really good. however, if you are going for looks, I would say go for the s-techs. but if you are going for preformance, I would save my money for the acctual coil overs. originally I was going to buy the mazdaspeed sports springs from japan, however, the do provide a sufficent drop, they are still not as stiff as the racing beats. now, what I'm doing is saving my money for actual TEIN HR coilovers or the Mazdaspeed coilovers. it all depends how much money you are willing to put out. it's either you are going for preformance or looks.
 
TX i just carded a guy tonite...hes got a MP5 with chrome wheels (YUCH) but he seems to be alright...he had an injen intake sitting in the back of his car so i left him a card and told him id help him install it if he joined this site

I think you meant to say Tein SS Coilovers. There is no such coilover kit named HR, only the HA's which aren't available for the BJ (Protege) chassis. And if you're thinking of the SS coilovers, why not take the JIC into consideration. They have the adjustable upper mounts, but they cost a little but more.
 
hahaha my bad. i just got confused. on a lighter note, i decided to go with the upgraded springs by racing beat. According to my mazda dealership which is a mazdaspeed distributor, it provides a 1.5" drop and the least and is also stiffer than the stock racing beats.
