Lowering springs and shocks for 2nd gen.
 
I am selling H&R Sport Springs and KYB-GR2 struts for 2gen. Protege. I installed them on my car late june and since then I have put on 6000kms (3800 miles). With this combo you will get a excellent handling car. I know this since I took the car to a solo event three times. Since then, I fell in love with autocross, and now I bought '85 Scirocco which is gonna be my autocross car. So I need to sell these parts to invest the money in scirocco and kick some ass in autocross.
So make me a decent offet and it's all yours.
E-mail me if you want pics of the car!

Here's my e-mail : simic@unb.ca

I will look up prices?
 
I am not sure how much they are worth, but i will look it up and get back to you? We are both from canada, but i also wonder what the shipping would be on those too. Lemme do some research and get back to you. I need those for next spring.. How far is the drive from Montreal?? Any ideas.

Driving could be a better option for you since the shocks are pretty heavy and would cost $50-60 to ship. Springs shipping costed me $15 from Vancouver. Drive from Montreal To Fredericton, NB ( Iam in Fredericton now 'cause of university) is about 8hr. If you are really interested I can maybe travell to north of New Brunswick (border with Quebec) and meet you half-way.
Anyway, just e-mail me at simic@unb.ca, because I check my mail very often.

U are kind
 
that's a pretty nice offer to driveout of your way to help me out. And to shave off 50-60 bucks would ofcourse help alot. So, i am gonna do my research to see how much they are worth and be back to you. Thanx for the offer though. It's much appreciated.

MAPQUEST DIRECTIONS

Total Distance: 794.53 km
Total Estimated Time: 13 hours, 11 minutes

OUCH!! That's not just a sunday drive!

13hr!!! hahahahahahah
Maybe if you are travelling at 60km/h all the way!!!
My roomate made it from here to Toronto (1500kms) in 11.5hr!!! That's breaking a speed limit a little bit too, and no stops.
It's only 800kms, I drive from here to Halifax (450kms) under 4hrs.
Calculate it yourself, with 100km/h * 8 hr = 800kms.

No idea myself..
 
Yeah, that's true. It's not so bad! So, i just gotta compare that price to the price of gas. I might just ship them.
Do u have any pics of your car with them on. Because i know that the H&R lowers 1.3 inches, and i know it's not that much, i could safely lower 2 inches. But a visual would help. ;)

I just sent you an email with pics. This setup will give you good lowering, especially since you have 16" rims. There is a guy here with 17" rims on lowered protege that still looks awfully high, 'cause of big wheels.
