didn't for me, that i can recall... but i think it does depend on what you do. my drop is mild (1.2" all around) using springs and struts, not coilovers, so that could change things. obviously i got an alignment after all was said and done.

i finally changed mine in april and am sorry i didn't do it sooner; made a great thing even better. probably the biggest single improvement was upgrading the rear sway bar - that alone made the ass-end feel so much tighter around corners. and knock on wood, i have yet to experience any 'clunk' :)

Changing the rear swaybar makes alot of difference on the pro5 alone now imagine it with euro struts and RB springs.

change the oil and take care of the engine and i'm sure anyone can get 200K plus from a P5. i've know people who got 250K from older proteges...
I kinda figured folks could get that kinda milage, but I didnt know whether or not they have the same engines as us or not. Thanks everyone for your response and if you are just reading this vote, I wanna know how many miles you got. Take care Folks...
 
03 with 87,000 miles when we sold it three weeks ago. Only regular maintanence and replacing the rear rotors due to calipers sticking.
 
59K currently. The only thing to break was a strut bearing so far.
Plan on giving this to my daughter when she gets old enough and it will take me a few more years to complete. Mmm awd, turbo P5 grocery getter.
 
02 w/about 16k/17k ?... I'm at work right now so , I'll confirm later... havn't had a chance to look at it... I know I just changed my oil @ 15k

I think I have the lowest of all 02 on the board

02 with 74,518 miles (just checked the odometer).

In my search to buy one I came across a couple in the high 90's and one over 100k. Have yet to see one with over 150k though.
 
'03 with 57,XXX on the odometer. Also, I got 31 mpg documented on my last road trip. That's with AC running and doing about 70 on the highway. Not bad.
 
All of these P5's with low mileage, what am I doing wrong...damn this car for being fun to drive. :)

I know, I'm going through miles fairly quickly--25k/year. (Got the car used.)
