once more
please please please
be more specific with your tittle, I know you are new .. but if you want people to answer your questions , you really need to be more specific ,,, your title 17s no drop .... should be something more like,. Requesting pics of 2nd gens with 17's with no drop?
and then it should also be in the photo video section ,,,
but I will let it stay here ,, under your tittle , but I just had to let you know , cause some of your other posts were also vague,,
I am not being a itch in your back , just trying to get you to phrase your Questions properly so people will even want to bother clicking on the topic tittle ....
thanks

no problem , I just didn't want you to think I was pickin on you or anything , I just want you to be able to get your questions answered to the fullest extent , cause when these guys don't understand what you are saying , ,they either just skip over it or go on ...
But to answer you Question ,, If you aregoing to install the kyb shocks. then I highly recomend you get the lowering springs and install them also ,, our model protege with 17's and no drop tends to look like a firetruck ... so I would say get the springs drop the car..
you have plenty options also
Intrax is one of the lower priced springs that you can purchase and is a very good product , while giving you a good drop of 1.8 inches, you have BG springs , which are good but a bit expensive, also eibach , good and really expensive , not worth it in my opinion ....
the H&R's wich give you a minimal drop , 1.2 inches I think .. ok but not low enough for me ,, but they are good quality springs..

bruce i think the h&r's are more than 1.2 cause i only have the backs on right now but it could easily tell there was a difference, i wish i had measured the back first but oh well i'll measure the front before and after
