Will ES Protege Springs fit on MSP struts?

[leebanger]

I bought some MSP Protege struts. Will my factory ES protege springs work with the MSP setup?

should, but why not upgrade the springs while everything is apart? No point in doing it twice.

I have the full MSP setup on now. There is a much larger gap in the front because of the weight of the sound system. I was thinking of keeping the MSP setup in the front and MSP struts, es springs in the back. Try to get them equal height.

I have a fiberglass amp rack and custom trunk that are weighing down the rear.

Do you think that will work?

lee-
if the gap is being accentuated by the weight of the stereo, i'd think that any increase in height by switching to the ES springs would be at least partially negated by the fact that the ES springs are softer and so will compress more under that weight than the MSP springs. you'd probably be better off going for a set of S-techs which drop the front a bit more than the rear to level it out.

That makes sense, I'll look into the S-techs.
