I know that this setup, or any setup from a probe/mx6 will raise the front of the car a bit, but I am wondering how much, and what it is exactly that needs to be done to incorporate probe coilovers on an mx3.
Any chance someone has a backup of these pictures or can get ahold of slammed6 and have him repost them?
Sometime in the future I'd like to get a set of Probe TEIN SS's w/ an EDFC inside the car

Here's what you have to do to fit Probe/MX6 Ksports on an MX3. I'm sure it's the same for any probe/mx6 suspension.
Front/upper mounts: Nothing, bolts right in
Front/lower mounts: a couple washers on each side and it's nice and snug
Rear/upper mounts: Drill the two holes out a little farther to fit the probe camber plate, bang out the third stud from the camber plate and discard it.
Rear/lower mounts: You have to drill out the holes in the ksports quite a bit to make them fit the mx3 hub. Then about the same amount of washers as the front ones and your good.
In my opinion, the drilling of the rears is a little overkill because of how much you have to remove. But if it's your only option, it's worth the work.
