Lots of kits lower the rear more than the front, which will help get rid of the Stink Bug stance of the stock protege

I got a set of goldlines. The drop is 1.8" and looks even all around. No wheel gap is hot ;)

i guess it's just meyou must love the stance on my car then

can't say I'm in love with the rake... although it will be a tad lower once I get my MDF box built and my 57-lb sub in the trunk

but yea, the eibach prokit lowers the back more than the front... I didn't get that one because I didn't think it lowered the front enough... now I'm kinda wishing I'd gone with the eibach sportline (now that's a damn fine drop for a set of springs!)

nope... 0.9" larger overall, or .45" on all sides
