Default springrates (if you don't specify) for the mx3/protege is 300 up front and 250 in the rear.

Unless you asked for a softer ride, they would just give you these basic springs.

one thing I`d like to know is, why are you selling?
As far as I know, GC`s are the best springs for the Mx3.

ah :)

I`m still interested.
Do shipping charges come on top? (I`d guess they do).
also, could you check on some shipping prices to Norway? Usps, DHL.

I`m kinda hoping that noone else bids on this as I have the highest bid :)

This is most likely my only shot at getting GC`s, as Norwegian import taxes are insane on new parts.

so pretty please with sugar on top, hehe :)

Hey. Sorry to waste everybody's time with this. I installed my Intrax springs today, and they are way too high.. I guess I have the GCs adjusted lower than I thought... So, I will be returning the Intrax springs to CS (hopefully - I only installed the front set, and never drove on them) But I'm going to keep the GCs... Imma try to get some softer spring rates though.. Again, I'm really sroory to waste everybody's time with this..

No I did not realize that. How much will they settle and how long will it take? Also, can anybody else vouch for this? (just to be sure) Because th intraxes are like more than an inch higher than I want them to be.
