Come to find out o had a frozen caliper and my rotors were warped badly. So my buddyhas a probbe he's parting out and gave me front calipers with drilled and slotted rottors. Did that today and ended up getting extended studs and lugs from him and more spacers

O and my daughter wanted to help Haha

how many people have slotted struts for camber and how many hav camber bolts..... whats better? i dont do any agressive driving just tryin to stance the protege
 
got a chance at the of the day at work to lower the protege a little more... let me know what you think
now i just need some 5mm spacer to make the wheels 35 offset or maybe ill go 8mm
How did you do this on megan springs?

i cut a coil off the bottom of the spring thats y it sits so low on the megans, i love it cause i got the low i want and it still rides stiffer than stock with the cut coil
 
shot it with some under coat.... i cut the coil a while ago and i just had the car up on my lift saturday and the spring isnt rusty at all
 
Very nice. I had wondered if anyone every did this. Coils are cool but I doubt I'll ever get any...unless an awesome deal walks by. I would like to go about 1" lower in the rear but have some work to do to make it possible. Do you have an idea of the drop 1 coil caused?
