I bought an Apex 1.6" drop. It made a difference with both the look and the ride. Plus it goes well with the 16" wheels.

Not a bad price either.

I've seen pictures of the Ebiach, looks great. Thats what I wanna get. I've got 15" on my car now, and will soon upgrade to 16" in the spring time, Ebiach seem to put it at the right height, unless you wanna slam her.

Question Springs

Does anyone have any opinions on the 2000 Protege Eibach Prokit springs? I know someone who is offering me these springs and installation for $450 CAD. Should i go for them or not?

Or should i go for the ground control coil overs??
Where do I get the gc coilovers here in Toronto, Canada??

I like the Eibachs. I've had them for about a year now. Adding the MazdaSpeed ajustable struts really helped damp the increased spring rate though.

Question Eibach

HOw long does the oem struts take to wear out if you have the Eibach Prokit?
Or do you recommend getting new struts with the Prokit?
How much did you pay for the prokit itself?
