braking is a function of traction....nobody here has more traction than braking capacity.

the end.

depends on the bolts you get. with the ones i had, 2 gave more adjustment than one.

you cannot afford the best...pick a price range and the correct answer will emerge.

you want springs for a 90-94 protege or a 91-95 escort.

your strut is a dampner, and it needs to dampen the spring energy of your spring. Lowering springs have higher spring rates than your stock springs, and therefore have more energy when they compress. Therefore, the stock struts cannot dampen the aftermarket springs, and you get an underdampened ride...
