So I just hit 100k miles and my suspension is shot and has been for a little while now i figured i could spend about 700 on new struts and springs or spend a little more and get a decent coilover setup. I am trying to spend under $900 if possible. I have been looking at some megan racing and...

I have an 02 Protege ES. I need a new strut. But I also want to lower it but of course can't afford a nice kit. So I just want to buy some lowering springs and replace strut/struts with stock. I was told if I get the springs then I have to get "shorter" struts. Is this true? Or can I use stock...

Hi, First post to the forum, and I did a quick search, but didn't find the answer to this particular question. Apologies if it's an obvious one. I just picked up a 2002 Protege5 in pretty good shape, but one of the things that the mechanic pointed out during the inspection was that the rear...

I have H&R lower sport springs on my 2 and have major wear on the inside of my tires, are there any camber kits out there that will fit to correct the negative camber?

I need these washers. For both sides. Mine are stripped from being rusted out, and there is much play in my rear struts because of it. These hold the dampers down. I CANNOT find these anywhere else, and I'm asking people on the forums if they can help me out. When removing them, please...

I'm looking to replace the suspension on my 2002 Protege5, but I'm not sure what to buy. I was wonder maybe if Focus SVT suspension would work? That'd be fun...

So i have a 2005 mazda 3 hatch, and my stock struts are pretty much shot. Also I'm really into car audio and have a sound system that weighs about 280ish pounds in total, so the rear suspension is carrying A LOT of weight constantly. So I've been looking into getting coil-overs, but not trying...

Hey I had a oil change recently done on my car and they listed two things, that there's a coolant leak from my thermostat and that the outer tie rod boot is busted.. I saw that these aren't very expensive and was wondering if anyone has advice as to how to change them? I have heard some noise...

OK so i bought my P5 about 2 months ago and I noticed this issue. I'm just getting around to figuring out what's wrong. at first look it seems like my drivers side is really low. the distance between the tire and fender on the drivers side is about 1" and almost 3.5' on the passenger side. so...

Hey Guys, I'm selling my 2011 Mazda 2 Blistein Coilovers. I had them installed for only a week. The wife didn't like the firm ride, so off they came. I'm going to have a friend post them on eBay around 11/15/11. I'm looking for $500 plus shipping (I live in southern California). Cheers, Richard
