i was wondering since so many of mp5 owners have succesfully lowered there rides what camber kit if you need one did everyone get. i cant decide what to get either Springs or Coilovers? ive decided to go with some 16" rota's in bronze with some yokahama parada rubber. any suggestions on the suspension tip though. also how low can i go and not get messed up tread where on my rubber?

 

I have been told it really isnt needed. Plus there is tons of people here with lowered rides without a camber kit, maybe they can post some replies about tire wear etc. There is a thread in the wheel/suspension forum that deals with the camber issue as well.

 

The camber kit is not needed for any moderate drop (1.5" or less). Anything more than that really isn't a good idea on the 3rd gen Protege if it will be driven regularly on the street. The front suspension doesn't have enough suspension travel to lower it that much without severely compromising the ride and handling.
