I want to know your opinions.......
Which springs do you like for the gen1 protege?
Eibachs
H&R's
Sprint
Suspension Techs

 

Sprint are the Cheapest, but also jus found out...if u go on www.speedandstyle.com you can order Arospeed 1.5'' approx drop springs for $99

thats what im gettin.
but eibach and h&r seem to be the best, but ull pay more

 

it also depends on what you plan on doing with the car. Street cruiser, autoxer, drag racer......

also, what struts are you going to use? the H&R's will beat the OEM struts, and the Sprints being so low, they'll beat em up too with next to no susp. travel. IIRC we only have about 2.5" of travel up front at or near OEM ride height. Hope your bumpstops are soft

but Jesse's notes are right on.

I run H&Rs for the MX3 (recently switched from Eibachs) Thier pretty stiff for the street with the ZX2 S/R struts, but still kinda ok, but they do very well for autox racing

 

I've got Eibachs on my car now and they're good for the street, not too stiff or too soft. However, I'm getting a set of H&R soon (for winning my class in our autocross championship) and can't wait to try them with the Tokicos.

If you decide on the Eibach, let me know, I should have some low mile used ones for sale!

your really going to like the change over It's a little worse for the street, but who cares right!

now, do you mean, you've won your class or do you mean you plan to win? and do you mean that particular championship day, or the years championship?

either way, Way to go man!

 

I'm new here and I've been trying to gather up the parts for some suspension work for my '92 323.
I'll take these springs if you are selling them.

 

I went with the H & R's with the zx2 struts. I will let you know how they are.

 

how much do you plan to sell them for ???
I might be interested as well...........

 

how much/low of a drop are these springs?

Eibachs
H&Rs
S.T.
Sprint

 

Eibachs = 1.0/1.0""
H&Rs = 1.25"/1.0"
S.T. = 1.0"/1.0"
Sprint = 2.0"/2.0"

 

whats the deal with springs that lower the front more than tha back. i mean is the front end that heavy that it'll actually even out the drop? cuz i see people's cars the front is lower than the back. dont like how it looks uneven.

 

typically the front is higher due to the fact that the rear wheels never turn, so the fender line can be physically shorter, as the fronts need room to turn. It may also be to keep the raked look of the Pro, as the front is naturally lower.

I don't think you'll be able to detect a 1/4 inch.

 

I want to lower my P5 and am looking for something on the soft side and, when lowered will have the same "gap" on all corners. The one that you recommend, will it lower it too much as to cover the tires (I'm looking for something that sits about 1 inch above the tires. Do you recommend Eibach or H&R? What is the price difference? Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it

 

all but the sprint will give you the look you want. I don't even know if sprint makes em for the P5.

Generally, the Eibachs are the softest. But i think this question is best possed in the 3rd gen section.

 

ya right, you do know why, but refuse to aknowledge it
