The Escort ones will fit. You don't want Miata ones, the spring rates are too different and i don't think the collar will fit our struts. Also, they might be too short.

crap, 
i hate this car for the simple fact that you cant buy performance parts for it
i wanted my first car to be a toy, put a bunch of bolt ons and **** like that, but this car just isn't that, everything has to be custom this and custom that which is really time consuming and expensive(and whats the point of putting money into it when the car only cost me 4000cdn) and you;ll still get your butt kicked by an si
grr, i like the car for what it is, but getting bored of it,
looking into some honda power for next spring
94+ integra LS sounds good, no more worries about finding parts, although to some that half the fun)

oh yah, we got coil overs that fit from ground control, drop zone, low boyz, weapon r, etc etc. we got springs from intrax, eibach, B+G, sprint, H&R, if you need a more selections than 5 companies you are overly picky.

as for engine swaps, there is actually a place about 1/2hour from here that specializes in mazda's, they do the v6 swaps and everything
BUT it cost 4300cdn!!!! thats more then i paid for the car

were not trying to be mean but its kind of hard not to when theres plenty of suspension parts for our car and your saying that you dont want your car cause 5 vendors isnt good enough. they may not come in ricey type colors like honda/acura parts come in, but if thats your thing then theres always paint.

wow, lol dont worry your not being mean, some times i just need that push to actually go and get them
and its not about the number of vendors, the cheaper the better for me
i found some coilover and i was gonna buy them but my dad wont let me now
FUUUUUUUUUUCCCC****and its my car to, but he pays insurance and pays for part plus he uses my car, his car is in storage for insrance purposes
im 2nd driver on my own car insurance companies are so gay, cheapest quote i had for primary driver was $3600/year!!! my dad doesn't want it lowered cause he wont like it lol. he wanted to take off my racing pedal after i got em cause he kept pressing the gas when braking lol, old people just dont understand.
plus he know im saving up for something faster and he even said he'll help me get the next car so he doesn't want me putting money in this one
this car would look so much better dropped like 2inches

when i was looking for a car, my parents wouln't let me buy one, but when my brother was buying a car, he sold me this pro and this is the only car my parents let me buy cause they knew it was in mint condition (he drove this car like a biatch cause he had to pay for this one, he was done being stupid after like 3 cars, his first car he had 2 blown engines clutchs, syncros... and when he sold it it was burning so much oil)
anyway, drove without insurance for a few months, but when i was trying to get insured i got quotes from $3600-$5700 for primary and my dad as owner
. plus my parents were already paying $4700 for 2 cars (both mazdas a 96mpv and 94 v6 626)a year cause my mom totaled a car in the winter, wasn't her fault but she was the only car involved so thats how the insurance called it. so my parents wouldn't pay over $8000/year, so we put my dads mpv on storage and me as second driver on my pro, he still uses the mpv but only when i need my car the really bad thing is that he hasnt driven stick on a daily basis for maybe 20 years!!!!
and for some reason he just cant change those gears well and keeps riding my clutch i let him drive once with me, omg i was ready to snap, i was like wtf are you doing!! you jerk the car everytime you change a gear, and he's doing like 50km in 4th.i actually noticed a difference in my clutch after him using my car for like 2 weeks!!, it got to the point that i was trying to kill my clutch slowley so that he'd buy a new one, i would lay a patch each time i left work, but when him and me decided to get an integra next winter ( i can get it really cheap) i decided to save my pro as much as i can, keep its value.
