Mazda Protege 5 2003
I am getting ready to install Racing Beat springs with the Tokico Blue struts and I have a couple of questions:

-Are the AWR rear and front aluminum strut mounts worth it?

-Do I need to change the bumpstops? I know the there are Mazda Speed versions.

-Should I replace anything else while like the spring seats, dust boots, etc.?

The vehicle in question: 2003 Protege 5 stock (but not for long)

Thanks
 
ummm bumpstops..you could order from jason (onlinemazdaparts.com)
and they are the mazdaspeed bumpstops. or you can go ahead and cut the front ones in half, and half in rear. ordering new ones just saves u cutting, and its made for the springs/struts.

spring seats and etc... ur fine.
umm one thing u might wana becareful with are the endlinks. Many people have had problems taking off the endlinks and ended up cutting them off, and either ordering the oem endlinks again (30bucks? each) or upgraded ones.
i had that problem.
and then Alignment afterwards of course. if u want i can get u a NTB 20$ off the 1year alignment plan. Good luck and welcome to the forums post up pics before and after :D

btw where are u located?
In dallas??
