hello force and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to our Club. There are TWO BIG fridge'S in the corner with anything you can think of in them...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. (stash)

make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom don't care....and take it easy.

oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!! (stash)

Will that drop be good? the IMPORTANT thing is do YOU think that drop will be good? YOUR car is already lower than a normal Protege by about 3/4 inch....so the drop you are considering would be about what most of use get on a standard car when we use either Eibach, Spool or H&R springs......

Personally, I say if you want it lower....go for it. Just remember to let the springs settle for about a week then have your car ALIGNED
 
eibach springs are 1.5 front and 1.8 back in think
if you get sumthing adjustable liek groudn control which runs for 350-400 it is adjustable from .5 - 3' on our mp3s

there are other loweing springs that drop the front lower then the back but i like the back being lower personally gives the lowerider look
 
Hey I was plannin to lower my car too. I was thinkin of going with TEIN springs for about $240. However, do any of u guys knoe how much are some Mazdaspeed springs are?

if you got a mp3 the mazdaspeed springs are the same. ( i Think)

I got the spool springs the drop is nice and not to dramatic at all, most people dont relize its any lower. The ride is the same as a stock mp3

might want to check out the new ion springs, i think they have a fairly small drop.
 
No no no, I didn't want to get the Mazdaspeed Protege springs, I'm talkin about "Mazdaspeed" springs. All the mods I'm goin with my car are goin to be straight JDM.
 
do you have a link to the "mazdaspeed springs" just curious. or a pic? Whats the drop on them?
 
I can tell you this from my local shop. TEIN springs for the MP3 are $240 after shipping. They are about a 2 inch drop. Pretty stiff springs to be honest. And I am hoping all of you know what TEIN is right?
 
I mean ya, there are different levels for TEIN springs. There are sport springs, street springs, race spings and semi race springs. But to be honest I want to go all Mazdaspeed parts. So, I'm planning to get a catalog from Japan and just order parts from them through a A&J racing. (Hopefully) Well other than that, H3s TAKE TOO MUCH TIME TO INSTALL!!!!
