That's definitely what I'm getting first. I will be ordering from optauto.com for $18.50 each - unless someone here can get those cheaper?

Looks like most of you went for suspension first. I will probably do that as soon as the car breaks in, so that I know which part of the suspension I should mod first. Does the car have a lot of understeering stock? Considering it's FF, usually it understeers.
How much understeer it has depends on what you are comparing it to. Compared with most FF cars, it has a lot less.
Compared to a good RWD car, like an S2000, it has a lot more.
Compared to a bad RWD, like a Mustang, it has a lot less, but with the Mustang, you can get power oversteer.

Most Proteges have a little drop-throttle oversteer. So, the secret is, when the car starts understeering, get off the gas (or tap the brakes for you LFBs) and unwind the wheel.





LFB = Left Foot Braker

Oh, I forgot. My first actual mod was to put on rear mud flaps.
