Road Magnet Springs

[MSP2k3]

I wanted to post a thread about these springs as i could not find much info about them on this site.

They claim 1" F & R drop and i am very happy with the results.

It is exactly the drop i was looking for since the MSP is my DD.

The MSP rides alot smoother, due to the progressive springs i think.

I cannot comment on how the handling has improved as I had a battle with an endlink while installing the springs and haven't had a chance to install my new endlinks. I will update this thread once i replace them. I will also update this thread after the autox season starts to let you know how they are performing.

Onto the pics. (they aren't the greatest because the sun was so bright)

Thanks, any idea about how long it takes to settle? They have been on for about 2 weeks now. I haven't had it aligned because i figured they would settle a little bit.

Thanks, I drive it every day, rain or shine. I just try and keep her clean!

to my knowledge, all my lowered cars settled in about two weeks or less. i found that of the 3 proteges ive owned and lowered, the mp3 + msp only had slight toe issues after changing out springs. the ES had to have camber readjusted

Thanks! Yeah, as you can see in the first pic, the car is on a pretty big slope, so the rear is a little bit higher than usual, looks a bit better when its flat. I was real happy with the drop, im hoping im happy with the handling when i take it to autox

these are the only springs besides the ion race specs that were designed for the msp specifically i think. i like the drop

I think the spools were as well, but there was some problem with the rears...

Nope, it is the original paint. It has its imperfections, but it shines up nicely.
