Whats up everyone!!! Name is Eddie and I'm from Newark, NJ. I've been tooling with cars since i bought my first car back in 06. Started with a stock 92 Camry and ended with this

Sold her and bought a stock 2004 Sentra Spec V

Modded her in so many different ways

Now i have a bone stock 02 Protege5 to have fun

I upgraded all the audio in the car with Pioneer component speakers on all doors

Did 20% tints on all windows

Bought me some blacked out headlights

Next up is some serious suspension work. Just purchased some Stagg Struts on ebay and endlinks for all 2 corners. I'll be matching them up with S.Tech springs and hopefully I'll find me some MSP Rims to complete the look. I'll be updating as i go once everything is installed and my car gets a fresh detail.
Thanks for looking everyone!!!

I did a lot of reading on here and a lot of people vouch by them, even those with lowering springs.

I have a set of Z32 rims they're 16x7.5 and 45mm offset. they're mounted on 205/50/16 tires just like my current pro5 rims.

Those'll be fine, they would only stick out an extra 5mm, compared to the stockers., Might need to roll the fenders tho
