I like the springs very much...they are very stiff and havent sagged at all yet (other than the usual .25" that all springs settle too)
And as far as the code, I have that too and it appears to be very common for all 2gen 1.8L...I have tried almost evrything from new injectors to a new ECU to the charcoal solenoid and nothing has worked. I did some research and came across a dealership here in canada (davewoodmazda.com) that is heavy into to racing so i asked them. They said its a good chance its the intake manifold gasket as they tend to rought out quickly on our car. If it leaks, the car will run lean and the computer will automatically kick our car into the fail safe mode which causes it to run rich (hence the fuel trim code). A new gasket is cheap (i payed $12 CDN) and the labour i beleive is about 2-3 hours. However, since my car is being stored for the winter, while I have the motor apart to be chromed and polished, I will change it then myself.
Hope this helps,
Kris

i might be looking either for that or the intrax...i sure will try to change that intake manifold gasket..hope that will do it...chromes...polish..wow..whoch parts are you gonna get done?...must be nice...wish oknow someone here who can do the same to save money...i really want that front lip for oour model and the mazdaspeed wheels..thanks

Intax are kinda saggy too....i know they are cheaper, but id really try to get something like APEX, H&R, B+G....the money spent is worth it down the road.
As far as polishing, litteraly EVERYTHING is being ceramic coated and polished!

I wouldn't even use them, if eibach makes spings for the protege, do they?

anyway, dont cheap out just doing the spring, put some money on the damper too.

I have the goldlines for $150.00 shipped, they are not cheap springs jeff at gold line worked for eibach for many years and he knows what he is doing.
