Hey guys i wanted to lower my MSP soon and i was wondering what kind of springs will give it the lowest stance? i know that ksports or the tein ss coilovers can go pretty low. but i just wanted some decent and low springs, i was thinking either tein s tech or eibach sportline? can u guys show me some pics if u have this set up on the stock tokico shocks? and if u have some for sale please let me know im interested. thanksss (thumb)

sportlines look great. but they're discontinued. be advised that most springs out there wont lower the rear because of the higher spring perch on the msp tokicos.

It means you'll have a raked look. I havew seen some sportlines out there but are hard to come by. Roadmagnets give a nice even drop. How much you looking to spend?

eibach pro kit, road magnet, gold-line. these will give an even drop. sportlines are the best looking drop but they are discontinued

or what some people do is buy the teins and just put in the fronts

Hey guys has anyone had any experience with the skunk 2 coilovers on stock msp shocks?

http://www.protegegarage.com/98-product-98.html

i was thinking on getting these but i wasnt sure if the ride was gonna be bouncy or not and also how aggressive was the look or any rake look?

ride will be very harsh. as far as the drop, they're adjustable. so you can drop it something like from 1" to 3".
