90-94 Protege, 91-00ZX2 Lowering Springs/Coilovers Quest

Post by miztahfoolish »

Will either of these components would fit on our MX-3 GS? Im still saving up for some new ZX2 struts so Im planning to just drop the car a few inches...Any info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

i was able to get some 91-94 protege lx springs into my 4cyl around a 1.8" drop and 1.75" rear...im hoping to get some coilovers though.<p>the escort coilovers can work on your car if you get the zx2 struts installed as well. i heard the coilovers won't work with our stock struts.

I tried the 91-96 escort springs and they didn't fit so i am going with the protege springs...escort coilovers should be fine.
