New Eibach's

2 things ....
ONE ~ The Eibachs do not look that good on the MP3 and/or MSP because it does not seem to drop it good enough ... with the sedan or the protege 5 the drop is more because they do not have the stiff suspension.
Better than stock RB springs by all means, but does not give that tucked look or feel that would look dope.
I am a big fan of Eibacks so I can easily say good choice, but again I think 2'' drop would look awesome.
Oh and yeah I dropped my car with SPOOL springs and my back end is still high as F*@K. JUST MY 2 sizzEntzz.
TWO ~ That house looks just like laracroft's home ... lol

looks awesome. did you install them yourself?
Yeah, I installed them myself. I had a friend who is a mechanic help me. Back ones were a pain in the ass though. And also gjmoreo, it's almost 2". we measured and approx. 1.9" all around. thanks for the input though. I like the way it looks and it's wierd, but I think it almost rides a little softer.
Eibach Pro-line? Sounds like a hybrid of the Prokit, and Sportline spring lines...
On a regular sedan, Prokit drops 1.4F and 1.8R, and the Sportline drops 1.8F & R.
On an MP3, that would translate to about .7 and 1.1 for Prokit, and about 1.1 all around for the Sportlines.

looks sweet
Thanks all. I do have a question if someone might have the answer. I have a new "clunk", not "THE CLUNK" that comes free with the MP3. It's in the back end, sometimes loud, sometimes not. I have checked and the springs are seated right, and even had the Mazda tech at my dealership check. Don't have a clue. And when I have someone push down on the back end, no noise, only when I hit bumps and only in the back. Any takers on an answer?? thanks for the help

you may want to double check if you tightened the top of the struts all the way... my friend had the same problem with his VW when we installed his springs..

Also, the endlink bolts to the swaybar are tricky to tighten all the way. These were initially loose on my install, and the back sounded HORRIBLE. Absolutely horrible. When we jacked it up, we could move the bolt by hand!
