Will lowering springs

[jmarler]

Will lowering springs make a significant difference in the appearence of a mazda protege5?

I dont really care about the performance for now and I just want it to be lowered some...

I would like to save for a nice set of coilovers for performance and a drop later on.. but im currently on a budget for quite a while...


Does anyone have any before/after pics of lowering springs?

Yes, that's one of the main reasons people lower their car. I would recommend the Eibach Pro Kit. Great looks, but not too slammed for a daily driver. Also it's a very smooth ride. GL.

Just know that your stock shocks WILL blow sooner or later. Mine blew 3 months after I put my springs on. That's with me avoiding potholes and driving carefully. You'll have to get new shocks or those coilovers within a year probably and maybe more if you have really nice roads around you. Just make sure to get an alignment if you do decide to lower it. If you don't say bye bye to you tire tread.

It's a hell of a lot easier to just wait and get the coilovers. You only have to swap out all the stuff once and you only have to get one alignment. Either way good luck.
