right. nnow i dont plan to auto-x or drag so.. u think spending 300$ for the MSP tokico blues n getting shorter springs will be smarter than forking over money for coils or the Illuminas with springs.?

When you order your struts and springs, be sure to order them for a P5. The MSP's spring rates are different and you won't get the right drop. For that matter any company that sells springs and does not offer different springs for the different Protege models is not worth ordering from.

It's not the spring rates, it's the spring mounting perch on the MSP struts that screws things up. Aside from that, everything else is the same.

For your sake and sanity, I wouldn't do anything MSP based unless you plan on setting it and forgetting it.

I think my driveway is fairly steep and atleast 8+ times longer lol. I live on this creepy old hill lol. Not the best picture, but you get an idea of the length.

 

[99prolx]

I live up a half mile long gravel road covered with neve ending sink holes and drive it every day at least 2-4 times in my pro. You get used to the rattles after awhile....
