I was wondering what all the low guys do about the rear sway bar. I sat my car down for the first time and the rear sway bar seems to be sitting on the lower control arm. From what I understand about sway bars I am supposed to have end links that will allow the sway bar to sit parallel to the...

How high of an offset can I run with a 17x9.5 on my 03 Protege sedan without having issues with the wheels hitting any suspension components or anything? I am wanting a higher offset so I can have minimal camber. I have Yellowspeed coilovers if that makes a difference. Any help would be great.

I am looking to put together a new suspension setup on my 2003 Protege this year. I am looking at the Tokico Illumina struts on protegegarage with a set of sleeve coilovers. I contacted GC today to get some details on their coilovers that I couldn't find anywhere. I was wondering if there is...

I figured I would post this to see if anyone would be interested in Raceland coilovers if they made them for our cars. The process isn't that difficult. We just need anyone interested to email Raceland and simply let them know that we are interested. I know that the Hyundai Tiburon community did...

SOLD! I have a set of Hotbits Racing Coilovers for a 3rd generation Mazda Protege. I bought them from a member on here about a year ago and haven't had them on a car since I got them. They are height adjustable coilovers with no damper adjustment and use the existing top hats from the car. 2 of...

I bought LED lights for my front blinkers and side markers on my Protege. I haven't put them in yet because I am wanting to find a good route for fixing the hyper flash. I have saw plenty of people do the resistor method when getting rid of the hyper blink from running LED blinkers. Has anyone...

Ok guys, I bought a set of fullbody coilovers a while back on here from chubhawk. I realized after getting them that at least 2 of the struts will need rebuilt. The only issue is that I have no idea what kind of coilovers they are. Anybody have an idea?

I was just wondering why there are no how to threads that are sticky in this section? I have frequented a few forums through the years and all seem to sticky good quality DIY and how to threads for all to see. Maybe due to a lack of pictures and or information on people's write ups? I have...

This is something I've yet to see in the Mazda community, is there anybody not running a front sway bar on the Protege? I have a buddy with a Scion XB that ditched his during his last go around with tuning his suspension. I read into it a little bit and Volkswagen doesn't run one on their autox...

Any of you guys have HIDs on your Protege and recommend a quality kit and distributor? I have had Xentec HID hi/low and fog on my 03 Protege sedan for about 8 months now and have replaced everything on the kits at least twice now. When the temp drops in winter here in Missouri the fogs won't...

I have a 2003 Protege ES that I just had an OBX header put on. I did the nonfoulers trick to fix the bank 2 CEL. Now I have a P0031 CEL. I tried to clear it and tried to unplug and replug the clip for the first bank o2. It keeps coming back. I have never had it before and since the header...
