I like them as far as handling, but ride quality is similar to one of these:
lmao, okay not so bad but close...
I'm actually going to tweak on it 2moro, seeing as the front is sitting on the trimmed bumpstops.. im gonna trim a lil more and see how it goes, and i can still stick a finger up by the rear wheel well lip, so no need to roll

lol. maybe you should get tokico's i got them and love them. im SURE there a upgrade from stock. you diffidently gana have to upgrade sooner or later. those stock struts are gana blow

but i'll be gettin new tires 215/40/17's which should solve this problem, if not ima roll fenders.

hmmm... lower tires might help, but fender rolling may be in order.

yea
usually how much do they go for?
i gota place that wants 70 for one side so 140 for both sides..is that cheap?
it's not cheap, but if they do a good job then it's worth it. otherwise you might try a narrower tire(like a 205) so it's not as close to the inside of the fender.

(cabpatch) black on black protege..i gotta get my wheels redone.(i went the cheap way and had my painter do it.) i have to rescuff and reshoot myself..but anyway:
16in stock wheels
m2 lowering springs (front is slammed, but id like another inch on the back)and for those people that ask about these springs, they are cheap and offer a great ride..not bumpy at all if you use......
kyb shocks
no rubbing, but i do need tires and a serious wheel alignment.
sorry guys, i wish i knew how to make these pics bigger

I mounted these up because they were the matched set I picked up, I'm looking forward to burning them up and mounting up 225/50/16s front and rear, but part of that is because the MSP's tires are taller than the standard protege from the factory, so for a non-MSP, yeah, I'd go with 225/45s if you're on a 16 and you can find them, and fit them. That size on these tires is discontinued.
i dont care what brand they are, but i would like a little more substance in my wheel wells. 225/45-16 was the stock size on the SRT-4 ACR Neon.
