Pics of Spool springs on a blue mp3

[MP3skaterNC]

as promised, sorry for the less than great quality. but they're scanned pictures.

you can tell its lower than stock, about a 1 finger fender gap at all corners, handles alittle better than stock because of lowered center of gravity i suppose. ride is the same as stock, girlfriend didn't even know they had been changed

again im sorry for the poor quality.

Looks damn good! It doesn't look as low as the pics Spoolin took though???

 

[MP3skaterNC]

i dont know, it looks lower than that in person, i was pretty low to the ground when i took the pictures too, so that might have something to do with it. like i said, 1 finger gap at all corners which is pretty low, dont want to start bottoming out everywhere if i get lower.

anyone have pics of the protege5 with them on???

 

[dominoy2k1]

hey the pics are cool and car looks good to with springs...let me add them to the will buy using income tax check

 

[redwagon02]

again im sorry for the poor quality.

Don't be too harsh! the MP3's aren't of poor quality, maybe less than protege5's though.

 

[bigbillsfan]

have you done an alignment yet? are they supposed to settle at all? it looks great, i'm definetly gonna get those as soon as i pull my mp3 out in the spring.

nah not yet, got some new tires coming in, so im going to wait and get them on and the alignment then. terry said some settling will ocurr in the back, but thats cool with me.

You could lower the back an inch more. i promise you wouldn't botton out. I have the Ground Control's on mine & it's slammed to the ground but i'm going for the slammed look over ride quality. I'm not bashing u but it would look better with the back level with the front but then again it might not be your preference. It does look good though

 

[MP3skaterNC]

it really is pretty level, not raised up in the back. plus the rear still has to settle some. those pictures are just weird, doesn't look as low as it really is, and the back looks raised up.

 

[low_psi]

wanna send me your RB springs?

 

[MP3skaterNC]

i dont know about just sendin em, might have to send me something in return, such as your soul, i mean ummm...

 

[MP3skaterNC]

one more just for the hell of it

 

[APEXistud]

Seeing your pics confirms it, I will be buying some Spool Springs if Sean's deal on his GC's is more than I care to spend

 

[KurtMP3]

Hey Jamie do you have a close up pic of the spacing now in the wheel well???? Hows the curbage on the clearance?

 

[Kooldino]

Looks nice! Keep us updated on how they wear, etc, as well as if you hit speed bumps and crap.

 

[saided18]

i don't know. how will the bushings hold up while lowering the car??? i don't want to lower the car and have the squeek get louder!!

 

[MP3skaterNC]

sorry for not seeing these questions, sorry kurt i dont have a picture like that, ill take one whenever my new tires come in, since i have like no tread now and that affects the spacing.

so far the ride has been great, have to watch it parking though
dont want to catch the front lip on anything, ive only bottomed out once so far, backing out of a driveway, caught the front black lip thing. no damage though, just hae to be more careful.

as for the squeek, i haven't heard it yet, except from the shocks when its cold in the morning, which is understandable.

Hey Everyone...just so you know...that squeaking when its cold in the morning isn't the shocks...Its the front bushings. I had mine replaced and its been pretty damn cold in philly the past few days (colder than its been all year) and I haven't heard the slightest bit of noise. BTW, I also had most of a new transmission put in as well; flywheel, pressure plate and clutch. Feels like a completely different car; both accelerating and handling. You shoud see if your dealer is cool with replacing them (the bushings in front). Good luck. These springs are on my "to buy list" unless I get lucky and someone buys my car for what I'm trying to get first.
