I purchased a set of mazdaspeed springs for my protege 5, and I need to get some shocks and struts to finish the job. I was wondering who else has put mazdaspeed springs on the p5 and how much it lowered their car, and if anyone who had pictures of the car on these springs could post them? so I could see how it looked. Thanks

I put them on the front only due to having a sub box in the rear...pretty much just leveled it up...

i had 205 45 16
got anymore pics when you had them on? your car prolly looks the best I have ever seen with a p5 on mazdaspeed springs.
How off was your speedometer with those 45 series tires?
I'm putting 18's on, I think that they will fill in the wheel well gap quiet nicely

That's my concern also, what happens if I go with a different tire size... this site was really useful http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html
If the speedo is off, your odometer will be off, (I guess your axles will be spinning faster or slower), either good or bad for wear and tear I suppose... and oh noes, the gas mileage calculations will be off!
I found that 215/45R17 is the best size based on the speedo difference.
