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 *** 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

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.

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.
