Anyone know the drop it would give an msp sedan...thinking between these or GC sleeves

But would they do the claimed drop of 2" on an msp or just p5? I'm thinking bout these due to the price diff from sleeves to springs
msp and mp3 springs dont sit perfect on a p5. They either sit too low in the rear or too high, it was a long time ago when i researched it, which is why i ended up getting megans. If they are P5 specific then they prolly wont sit right on your msp. This being only if they are P5 specific. Either way GC's will def get you lower. Heres my p5 on Megans
the last pic i came in the driveway and yanked the ebrake while coming to a stop which is why the rear looks higher.

Not quite sure where your getting your information but the struts for any sedan 01-03 are the same wether its an msp mp3 lx or dx its the same. Weak old or worn out struts may cause sagging or getting the springs mixed up. The only protege that uses diffferent struts is the protege 5 which may also be your problem.
sleeves u can go any hight u want but i hear its a realy bumpy ass ride and if u get springs u can only go 2 inchs drop with megan springs most springs only go 1.5 inch drop
^ lol. That was me.
But I have read that the adjustable springs ride shittier. Might just be since they get dropped past 2 or 2.5 " and it's obviously bumpier
ibaant a controlled test done. Where someone has the same struts. Lets say tokico blues and they get some Megan sorings on which drop 2 inches. Then try 2" drop w the skunks or other adjustable springs. & THEN we would have a more appropriate answer. Same can be done by getting tein s techs and dropping skunks to 1.5 ish.
Idk just my 2c
