Shocks for the Protege5??!!
 

So anyway im dying to upgrade my suspension on my P5 but i want to do it all at once...I know i want the Eibach Pro Kit
but c'mon i need some good shocks. Are there any yet? I mean MP3 struts are not worth it becuz they are so expensive yet they are only Tokicos, blues at that. ANd for the price that they are charging shiiiiiiit they should be adjustables. SO anyone pls...and judging from the other thread the KYB are too much money especially for GR2 which are reallly cheap. SO help out guys
Thanks

If you don't want to pay the price, you'll have to wait until the Tokicos are available in the aftermarket. They are not currently sold outside of Mazda dealerships. Unless you can get someone to revalve your stock shocks, you're pretty much stuck with what's available now.

Do u know if the Tokicos will be available on the aftermarket? And is there a predicted release date? It would be great if Koni provided a shock set up for our P5's...... Either way
Thanks again

tien
 

if you wanna do it right, just wait for the tien suspension thats on the way. full coilover kit is the way to go for the money. by the time you get new struts, springs, and installation you might as well spend the money on 15way adjustable tien struts and then you can also adjust ride hight by like 3 inches. The kit will be about 1000 when it comes out. theres a guy selling a set in the forum that were used for testing for 750.

mazdaspeed adjustables, if you are fortunate enough to have them available for your car

JIC Magic also has a true coil over kit available now...

Hopefully tokico blues will be available at regular prices soon
