H&R's

[TitanGray03.5]

Anyone have H&R springs? Your thoughts and pics....

['Sploder]

Speaking of H&R's does anyone know the spring rates for em?

[TitanGray03.5]

No one knows... fuck it's time to make a call.

i have H&Rs on my MP3... i like then cause i only want a moderate drop and 1.3" F&R gives me just what i want..... nice stiffness and looks great!

You'll probably have to contact them directly because I have asked about the spring rates before & no one had a clue.

[TitanGray03.5]

The H%R repsaid Max 30% above stock during runs average of 25%.

Front Max: 188.50 lb/in
Front Ave: 181.25 lb/in
Rear Max: 152.75 lb/in
Rear Ave: 146.88 lb/in

Drop
1.3 F / 1.3 R

I got the info damnit now I want pics! lol H&R always seem to understate the drop on their springs.

2 finger gaps in F&R with the OEM 17" wheels on. looks nice imo

They do not have springs that are specific to the MSP, thus when they say 25-30% stiffer than stock, they are talking about stock Protege spring rates. The part numbers for the mazdaspeed and base protege application are the same. We should know the stock protege rates before make any assumptions on the H&R spring rates. Does anyone know the spring rates on a stock protege?

i bought springs for my car..and the ones they sent me was for an older protege...but the mechanic had my car apart...and he was going to charge me for labor..150.00 so i told him to do something cuz i didnt want to pay for him to take out my springs and put them back...so i told him its up to him...when i got my car back he trimmed my springs just to drop the car..but when i rode the car...it drove the same, no bounce...cornering was great and what i noticed was when i launch from the line no front end lift..but dont get me wrong im going to replace them correctly but this is good for now...has a good clearance(one and half finger)

take 25 or 30% off of those rates and you have stock... im not gonna look it up right now but its like 143 and 117 approx
