Coilovers are in. I havent seen them in person yet as Im in the south on vacation. My friend Drew at Speedware Motorsports took my car in before I left to do the install and alignment for me. I got a big mountain drive up at Mt. Baker when I get back so that will be the true test. Should be getting some good coverage with weaksauces Go-Pro. Heres the pictures I have....
In all it took 6 weeks from start to finish. They say that they've only made on other set for the protege and because it was originally a prototype they had to go back to the CAD drawings and start from scratch. This also means they charge you for a "custom" set which tacks on another $100. Final cost is around 1200 shipped. Im not gonna stress it cause im pretty sure im gonna love them.

They are nothing but good. The only bad is you have to wait 5 weeks to get them.

Front arms were destroyed, all the brushing were shot. Replaced them with parts from Mazda. One of the bolts was rusted out, got some new oem hardware to replace most of the undercarage.
Switched to royal purple 10w-30, love the stuff. Runs amazing.
Re painted the sedan lip with metallic black hobby paint. Super close to oem black mica, turned out good imo.
Should be buying a new fender to have it repainted
Fixed the horn by installing a independent switch
New oem msp e brake lines
sparco trunk hold down things since the catch broke
Deleted some wiring in the cabin
new Black muteki lugs

Gotta love new stuff even if its replacement stuff. Glad to see the car still moving long, your car is def. a huge part of inspiration for what Ive done/am planning to do to mine. Nice work bro.
