What have you done to your P5 today?

[THE Phen]

He shouldn't be too bad if he's listened to what we've told him a hundred times. I have AWRs and they're silent.

I dunno, I had AWR endlinks and the Progress rear swaybar and I couldn't keep it quiet. I did everything you were supposed to: used ramps to lift the rear so the suspension was still compressed, adjusted the endlinks so the bar ends were as close to horizontal as possible, I made sure the endlinks didn't bind when I inserted the bolt and I tightened the hell out of them! They would be quiet for about a day or two and then would get noisy no matter how much torque I applied to the bolts/nuts.

Tylor...why are you buying all this crap and your car is broke?

 

[mx-p5]

I don't know what you're talking about. lol




warranty is fixing the car though.

 

[JDM-P5]

Good for you then,

I was just thinking..."what if they don't"...you'd be stuck in that PT Bruiseyourego for ever.



Imagine endless days of your wife making fun of you....not to mention the people on here...whew.

I've heard good things about Toxis, combine those with some Eibachs and you got yourself a nice setup for around $450. Although combining different shocks w different springs will always give you a different ride (you like my analogy dont you Tylor?). You know what I mean rite? it'd be like putting some Teins S techs on Toxicos, its gonna ride different, how different I dont know. There's a suspension thread around here somewhere that should help. (usa)

 

[roy obanion]

I think he's asking about getting them from ebay/that seller. Not how would he like them on a protege. It's not like there are tons of options for protege struts.


Edit: And I drove it in a bit of snow

Decent price, I think that's around what I paid through PG. I'm happy with my Tokico/Espelir setup.

 

[mx-p5]

If I can pick em up through Ken for that price, i'll go that route.

I'd rather buy from 1) an approved vendor here and 2) someone I know i can trust

Hmm.....$380 on his site.

I know it's only $50, but, i can't take $$$ outa the bank. it's all gotta come from paypal.

Which, is also pending the sales of the RX8 wheels

 

[dxaveP5]

but i want a lil more of a drop now.

 

[DeanSweet]

I actually hand washed my P5 in the driveway! How often can I say that on December 19th in Southern Ohio!?!

 

[mx-p5]

i dunno what i said. lol

 

[THE Phen]

Say again?

 

[goodfornothing]

Are the stock MSP struts Tokico's?

 

[aMaff]

Are the stock MSP struts Tokico's?

They are, but they're not the regular market Protege HPs, they're have different spring perch height. Not sure on the strut valving.

 

[THE Phen]

Re-valved blues.

 

[goodfornothing]

Since I plan on getting the pro-kit, would it be worth it to pair the springs up with some MSP struts?

 

[THE Phen]

Get the Tokicos made for the Protege5.
