s tech springs?

[g3'smp3]

Do the Tein s-tech springs fit the mp3?

 

[ChefChris]

Yes

whoa whoa whoa be careful. If I were you, I wouldn't go anywhere near eBay if you are looking for Teins. 95% of the ones I see on eBay are counterfeit, it's a big problem Tein is having right now.

Welcome to the forums though, how do you like your MP3? I wish I had one

teins look great on mp3s!!! msps ride high in the rear with teins but not mp3s!

 

[Kansei]

wow that's a perfectly even stance. Yeah you'd need to replace the rear struts with tokico HPs (normal ones, not the mazda ones for the MSP) to get that stance with the MSP. I should have gotten MSP rear tokicos from the dealership for my car so raise the rear a little to even my stance.

Can't waite to get mine. I will post pics if you guys want...

Why would the msp's ride high in the rear with them but not the mp3?

i still haven't figured that one out. and ive tested this theory on my mp3 as well as another girl's here in town versus my msp, citizenpro's msp, and discreetspeed's msp. the shocks were pretty much identical from my msp and mp3 too.
ALTHOUGH........... over the last couple of months my msp will ride lower from time to time in the rear. i dont really notice it because it slowly happens over time but when i pull up next to citizenpro (same suspension setup and same wingless cf trunk) his butt sticks up much higher than mine and mine is sometimes almost even. i dunno.

Weird I like the look of them on the mp3 but dunno with the rds around here might need to go with the prokit instead. Who knows they might make the back of the ES sit up also.

 

[Kansei]

ooh ooh I know. It's because the stock MSP Tokico HPs actually have the spring perch mounted higher for some reason. If your ES has the stock struts still, you should be ok.

I have blues I know that but why would the mp3 and msp be different they both have blues.

Tein S-Tech on a P5.

 

[Laser03pro]

Those rims look good very nice.

 

[BadKarma]

Hmm... Are the Tein S-Tech's for the Protege different than the ones for the P5?

Mazda had Tokico make ghetto HPs.. they are revalved with different dampening rates and the perch is different, maybe because the MSP has bigger tires (215/45)?

Pics with s-tech springs

Here's a few pics of my MP3 with the s-tech springs. Sorry little blurry lol

I just installed the s-techs on my MSP and yes the rear is higher, but I dont mind it...I kinda like the aggressive stance!

the rear will settle some after awhile

 

[APEXistud]

Look what the S-Techs did to my MP3.....(pissed) Just kidding, this is what the aftermath of a cellphone user on the freeway can do to your car.
