Best drop kit for a 01 protege?

[BlackMSP]

Im going to lower my moms 01 protege es for her. Anyone know how hard it is? And if someone could post a direct link to any "kit" somewhere online that would be sweet! Im looking for a 1.5" drop.

1.5 inch drop, you should get the Eibach pro kit. It's like a 1.4 inch drop. That's probably what I will be getting.

This is a really good deal for the springs, pay more than this and you are getting screwed. I also listed the part # for you guys.

I believe the hard part on our cars is the rear springs. You have to remove a bunch of crap from your trunk to get at the bolts for them.

You'll definitely want a spring compressor as well especially for the fronts. I've seen people here do them in 2 hours...

I ordered the SPOOL springs for a 2" drop on my MP3. I can't wait to install them next month (damn weather).
