hey i was wondering if anybody had any, not too expensive suspension suggestions for my car, im a pizza delivery guy so i take a lot of corners and would also like to drop my car a little , I have a 2001 protege by the way, I dont want coilover that seems overkill and far too out of my price range. I was told to get the eibach lowering spring kit and mabye some shocks and struts ? Does this sound right and could anybody help me with places with good deals ? thanks for your help in advance. Oh yeah im in the LA area as well if that helps at all.

you can get either eibach or racingbeat springs. racingbeats are really good and the car is lowered like .75 front and .875 rear(i think), but i have a 02 protege es, so it might be a lower drop for a p5 and the eibach pro kits are like a a inch in front and like 1.2 or so in the rear. but i would highly recomment either of those. if u get racingbeats check out the for sale forum or get them from racingextreme for like $195 and some change shipped.

there are soooo many choices you can choose from. First you just have to determine how far you wanna lower your car. Eibach are good. I have Goldlines springs. they dropped my car 2 inches all around. (burnout)
