Need shocks cheap!

[97SSer]

First post! I have a MX-3 GS that sees active duty as a daily driver. I dont very much about the car as all my efforts go to autocrossing my Camaro SS, #56 SM. <P>I've always wanted to improve the characteristics of the MX-3 to give me alittle more fun on the way to work, and who knows, maybe a few attempts at STS when i dont feel like changing tires on the SM car.<P>Here's the question: Will the ZX2 S/R struts fit a 92' V6 car with ABS? Will the instructions above hold true for this model?<P>Joe Silva<BR>MX-3 GS #56 STS?<BR>Camaro SS #56 SM

Hey man this really intrigues me since I have a 94 rs that needs shocks. Are you sure that the zx/2 will work also on the mx3?<BR>I mean I've checked out the whole thread and I'm not really sure nor do i want to spend the money uselessly!

I just have one question he is installing them in a Protege does the mx and Protege have the same fitings or will there be more or less modifing for the mx?

struts interchange between the Protege and MX3

That only works if you've got the Eibach's...those are the only ones I saw. The makes it about 40 somewhat dollars cheaper... If you don't have Eibach'S the zx2 struts don't really work. Anyway I'm<BR>learning as I go but it doesn't seem to work for my purpose.<p>[ April 26, 2002: Message edited by: Dwdigs ]

You can use ANY springs, including your stock ones. They were DESIGNED to use the eibachs, which is good because they set up the dampening on the firmer side, so your car will actually handle and NOT float around like a caddy.
