He could do that with all 4 and go driving on train rails!!!!

imagine the sparks at night! Im sure he would move eventually but it would be slow moving... kinda like taking off on ice sort of thing

Im looking to buy new tires for my wheels now since mine are getting worn. I am thinking a 205/45/17 is going to be the route I go, but a 215/40 might be better for traction. Up front I have the room, but in the back the passenger side had to be rolled to keep from rubbing on bumps. Plenty of room now for the extra 5mm.

Here are some pictures. Once Monsoon season ends here I will take some better pictures of the fitment, but all week is supposed to be bad.

im new to the mazda world, just got my first msp about a month ago, looking into lowering springs in the $200- range any suggestions? and when it says for the protege5 theres no way it'll fit a 3? i.e. meagan racings lowering springs fot the mp5.

 

[Tungsten6]

Whoa im so confused haha.
First of all what car do you have? because you said like 3 different models in your post (Mp5, 3, and a MSP)

But im guessing since its a 02 you just have a ES protege?
Anyway my buddy has a Eibach Prokit on his and i think its a perfect drop for a protege.

 

[Joost27]

and his name is MP3 Dan and under the avatar is Mazda Protege 3 es....which one is it? a MSP(Mazdaspeed protege), 01 MP3, Protege5, or a 02 ES?

 

[mp3 dan]

lol sorry again im new i believe it is a msp

 

[Tungsten6]

What color is it?

 

[mp3 dan]

it is an 02 and had mazdaspeed badging on the grill but i believe it may be an es. when i bought it the guy just said it was a protege and didnt tell me anything else about it.

 

[Joost27]

A picture from the side would solve all confusion.

Also, if it is truely a 02 then it is not a Mazdaspeed Protege they were only avail in 2003 and the MP3 was 2001 only.

 

[mp3 dan]

it is a light gray

 

[Tungsten6]

Sorry but MSP's are only 03, 03.5

 

[mp3 dan]

ok then what the hell is it lol?

i just went outside and took a couple picture but no idea how to ad them on here.. this is my first forum site

 

[Tungsten6]

You need to upload them to a Photo hosting site. (ex. Flickr, Photobucket)
Copy the IMG link and paste it.

 

[mp3 dan]

[mp3 dan]

hmmm that did nothing...

 

[thejeans]

it an ES with an msp front end

 

[mp3 dan]

ok so is that considered a mazda protege 3 or what?

 

[Tungsten6]

No 3... just
Mazda protege.

But it does have a MSP front end (which is a good start) but that wing is..... ew.

 

[mp3 dan]

oh ok that makes sense.. sorry to be so mazda retarded <.<

so back to the initial question, and ideas on decent lowering springs below $200?
