I coul sell maybe the h&R for 80€ (better offer received , other offered me 50..)-

If i do and switch to Eibach , do you think it would be enough raise?
you know , they write Eibach "from 30mm til 40mm " and H&R is -45mm , half Cm at worst would not be enough-

Anyway I 'm going to use ORIGINAL ...

Wow that's a difference , i clearly see actually.
Hope mine will not look like that when i'll raise, front expecially.
Not to be against you , but at the opposite i only find pro-kit , not the sportline version (which lowers more than pro-kit)
am i wrong?

hey i apreciate the feedback.Not street holes in your street i suppose ,
Sure it not "PRO " Eibach ? as "Sport Eibach" are lower than H&R , with tokiko they should have imploded with that lowering .
i have tokiko too , on all 3 train of suspensions=so they are standard much like Kyb.

My question ...

thank josh , do you actually have them on yours?
by the way i did'nt consider it ,it's pretty obvious in fact to measure from rim.!

Tech told me to find another one like mine and to measure to compare
(yes ,..like i find mx-3's like butterflies on spring flowers^..... ).

Honestly , it MOSTLY ...

Thanks.
well i believe with shipping , it's cheaper for you to buy new.Out of range dimensions for cheap postage ?
40mm would be definetely same problem than now ( too many holes on street here ).
I know they say 30mm ,that's why i'm asking if it's true or lower than that ;)

I misured (aprox) just ...

Hallo ,
I had (my previous topic) problem with shocks gone due to low springs and cracked mounts , but instead to find just supports i found the entire original suspensions Tokiko (same as mines) ,with true 8.000 Km on it .

Now , the tech told me :"or you mount originals , or if you mount h&s ...

Fact is , camber plate like you ordered (CUSCO are NOT legal for street"

Ahah off course i tell you !!THANK you BIG time guys!.
Because my shocks are done for ;corners still perfect , but car feel every hole in his entirety.

They did poor mileage , i and previous owner used mx-3 on sundays and occasionaly city ,
Confirmed by a friend of mine who i trust in his car ...

"Struts-
All MX3, Protege, 323, ZX2, and Escort struts will fit one another, but the ZX2 SR (and maybe all 3rd gens) use a larger diameter strut shaft. so you will need to use ZX2 thrust bearings (also ...

10 years? REally? that's a lot , nice tyo know other could also confirm that?
and did happen to you you break belt a,nd it was ok after replacing it?

Hello a quick question.
I have a Belt kit +water pump changed in 2008 , new .
Poor mileage so far , so in that regard i 'm safe.

But "about years" , i wonder if years count also in changing belt kit.
6 years now .Should Belt Kit , or simply belt only be changed maybe ?

what happen if Belt breaks ...
