Looking for springs
Hello all-
Just purchased an 03 Protege ES 2 weeks ago. The first thing I'd like to get for it is a set of lowering springs. For the past 2 years I owned a Mazda 3 hatch, so I'm unfamiliar with the Protege until now. Can anyone share some Springs experience with me in regards to what brands you like/dislike? And also a good place to purchse from? The ones that I'm looking at now are Racing Beat springs that give a .75" drop. Overall, I don't think I would want it any lower than 1.25"... Thanks alot, Tony |
If you don't want more than 1.25" the Racing Beats are probably best suited for you. They are very good springs.
Most other brands will lower you to 1.5-2.0 inches. In fact all the major brands that I can think of (Eibach, H&R, Tein, Progress &tc) are 1.5 or lower. |
Use this chart .. it will help you a lot.

Thanks for the quick replies! It looks like the H&R's with a 1.3" drop would be the nicest fit for me. Does anyone know of a good place to purchse from? The lowest price I can find is $195. Thanks again.

Oh, H&R only 1.3? I'll have to remember that...
