Question like that... Why are you selling them? Did you like them? we're they easy to install? (what did you have to do custom to install them?) thanks :)

im selling them because i got my hands on a different set of coil overs. i never got around to installing them so i couldent tell you. from what ive heard there a direct swap but you will have to change your end links out.

speaking from experience, the coilovers do work with the stock links since the sway-bar link on the strut is adjustable. I have a 2000 ES, which has the 12" front links, so I can't say if the newer 3rd gen's 9" links will work, but I'm 99% sure they do, since the AWR links I have are made to replace the 9" links and they fit perfectly. I'm using AWR rear links as well, and my stock rear links would not fit, however as with the front I think it's just because they're a bit longer than the later model protege links anyway.


Hope this helps you sell em.

it is always better to swap end-links when you change the suspension on your car if for nothing else but to have adjustment. to build a suspension the right way, i recommend a full swap.

ditto, and if you're purchasing new links there's no reason not to get AWR's, even with the garage discount I have at my dealership the stock links still end up being only about $10 cheaper for the pair than the AWR links.
