Quick question you for: I previously bought a set of the KYB GR2's from you all for my 2000 Mazda Protege DX with 1.6 liter engine. However, I never installed them and "upgraded" to Tokico HPs. A member here is interested in the shocks/struts I have (GR2s). He has a 99 ES GT (he lives in Canada). Will the shocks/struts I have that were listed specifically for the 1.6 liter only (according to your site) work on his vehicle?

tire wearing question?
I own a 2002 protege5, and I was wondering if my car eats up tires the way other mazda's do? I heard about tire eating mazda's, and when I was under mine the other day, I noticed that the front tires are wearing out on the inside. Or do I just need an alignment?

My Miata didn't have such issues, and I've only had the P5 for about 7K miles, but I heard Proteges in particular benefit from frequent rotations.
How are your tires wearing--could it be an alignment issue? |

my 00 lx does the same thing (inside of tire wearing faster than rest of tire). do u have rims??? the mechanic told me they do that because the suspension was wet up for 14" hubs and that since i got 15" th tires kind of look like this / \ (just not as angled) which causes the inside to wear faster

nothing a alignment cant fix, my tires are wearing evenly now
|
My '05 Mazda 3 is wearing its Riken Raptors evenly so far (about 16,000 miles; 1 rotation). If you want a car that devours tires try a Subaru.
