Has anyone installed these springs onto their Protege, Protege 5. They are new....they have the biggest drop for the 3rd Gen. Its a 2" drop.

 

Tein S-Tech springs drop 2" as well...

A friend of mine used Sprint springs on a SE-R and they seem to be fine as far as quality, but I don't know how their stiffness will compare to a Protege's...

 

I had Sprint springs on a Saturn. They are pretty good springs for the money... although the spring rates are high enough that your stock (or even close to stock KYB GR2's) will wear out faster. I had the GR2's with the Sprints and the ride was pretty stiff. Every time I ran over a .5" - 1.0" difference in the road it felt like I hit a curb.

 

Progress springs are 2" even drop for 3g sedans, and a bit more comfortable than their competition, due in part to the fact that they're progressive (who'd have thought?)

 

what do you mean by that last statement? Does progesive make the springs ?

 

LoL... no, they're advertised as "progressive-rate" springs. In actuality, they're dual-rate springs. Lower rate for initial compression, and higher rate to keep the suspension from bottoming out under higher compression situations.

 

Damn... you beat me to it!
