It's done, pics are on my phone....which I can't upload to this site until I get them on my computer. Check FB later this evening and they'll be posted. They came out nice. I bedded the pads this evening. I hope they gain a little extra initial bite once they cool down because they felt a little soft. I may also need to bleed the lines one more time. (Oh and I did remember to bleed the clutch)

I don't have P5 springs anymore, but I do have MSP springs laying in a box.

I don't want to hear about what you put in boxes.

So I am looking at these tranny install threads. Whoa. Scary! But I am looking forward to the challenge. Opening the tranny is a whole 'nother step up from doing a clutch.
Contemplating picking up a set of 626 5th gears to drop the ratio from .755 to .717--but doesn't seem to be worth the $100. Best would be finding a diesel Protege 5th gear at .680, but that's an overseas part only.

congrats ash!
You'll get potentially worse mileage since it's a relatively low power vehicle. I've tossed that idea around a lot. On my trips to Lime Rock, I would average 35 mpg at 72 mph with the A/C on. I'd only assume that a lower ratio would have the potential to lug it a little. But at the same time, you could put the car at a higher speed within the same efficiency RPM range. I dunno... thinking out loud.
Oh, and congrats Ashley!
I don't think it will help your milage one bit. I think you are better off driving 65 mph instead of 75 mph.
