Aftermarket support for us is excellent!
Hi all
Another post prompted me to start this thread. Here it goes:
I believe that 3rd gen Protege's have excellent aftermarket support.
Almost everything is available except ECU and turbo kits, and those are in development. And do not whine about cam sprokets, they will come too.
So far what I have compiled
Tires/wheels-just go nuts-correct offset could be hard to find for 17"though
Suspension/brakes:
Mazdaspeed adjust struts
KYB non adj struts
Eibach springs
Racing beat springs
H&R Springs
Intrax?
Ground Control coilovers
AWR full Bilstein/coilover kit
AWR sway bar and control arm kit with bushings and shitload of other stuff for racing(like spherical bearing strut mounts)
Strut tower braces(various)
Ingalls camber bolts
I am sure KVR has right size Brembo rotors in stock with carbon kevlar pads
SSteel brake lines
Engine/drivetrain:
Mazdaspeed exhaust cam
J-Spec intake cam
J-spec intake manifold
Mazdaspeed high compression pistons
J-spec high compression pistons
Underdrive pulleys
AWR heavy duty radiator
ACT clutch
Pacesetter and B&M short throw shifters(ones from earlier models fit)
Mazdaspeed chrome moly flywheel
Indigo aluminum flywheel
Injen and AEM intakes among others(Weapon R, and that carbon fiber thing)
Exhaust systems:
Borla
Brullen
Racing Beat
Bosal
Almost unlimited choice by virtually any manufacturer of universal mufflers-make your own system!
Probably I missed a lot, but that's enough to turn your protege into monster.
Do we really need 5 companies with questionable quality levels making coilovers for us?(WeaponR and Skunkshits are the examples-will never make way into my car!)
Personally I am waiting for turbo kit. If I see nothing by the end of summer, PR5 goes bye bye and say hi to SAAB 9-3 2.0 l turbo. $1000 to change ECU and 240 hp at the crank, not bad eh?
