Another Full coil-over suspension for the MX-3
I just found out a company called Ellis Engineering makes a full coil-over kit for the mx-3 (really for the 91-94 protege but same thing) I'm waiting on prices and specs but it is is height and dampening adjustable and the stuff on their site looked nice... we'll see though i'll post again as soon as i have some more info

just so you know from looking at the website these are custom made and race ready so i'm sure they will be over $500 per set easy.... i'm thinking around a grand but we'll see... i'm also waiting to see what all comes with each set

Just got another email from them... doesn't include camber plates sadly but still that isn't a bad price
__________________________________________________________
These are full true coil-overs. The strut body is threaded. The ride height adjustment is performed with the strut mounted on the car. The adjustment of the damping of the strut is done with the strut mounted on the car. The coil-over package does not include the camber plates. We do however sell camber plates. The struts can be valved to the customers needs.
The springs are 350lb and 450lb rates. The struts are made right here in our factory by Ellis Engineering. The cost is $875.90 for four complete coil-overs.
Sincerely,
Steven K. Ellis

That is a decent price and good spring rates, but only for racing. Try riding on 450 lb springs and you'll loose your fillings if you have any.

which rate is which? front/rear
how about a website URL, cause it's not ellisengineering.com or some pics...?
and again, it's 90-94
it's common for 99% of companies to get that wrong.
yup, my Protege has 500# springs and it was no fun as a DD.

If they make everything in-house, I wonder if they could get specific spring rates per your request. That's def. not a bad price for a full coilover setup though.

There are those who claim to be street racers, and then there are those who claim the streets for themselves. I am not a street racer. I am a StreetSweeper.
