If it's useless, then yes. Now is there anybody that has used H and R springs on their mx-3? Pictures would be much appreciated. Thanks to all of you who aren't retarded yet.<hr></blockquote><p>
Look...<p>I posted SEARCH, and the reason is because the first time i read this post, i searched myself, came up with at least 3 good threads, and one of which HAD ****ING PICTURES... So please, drop the damn attitude, leave the room, go take a deep breathe, and when you get back, click the damn serach button and look it up for yourself. When you find which people have the springs, PM them.<p>And no, I haven't driven a MX-3 with H&Rs, but I know what the spring rates are for Proteges, and how much stiffer they are for the MX-3 kits. And that along with the lowering amount will tell you incompetent people "how they ride."<p>So stop being a fool, please, because you're currently the cause of half the "other crap" in the suspension forum right now.<p>
Maldo, good work.

Im referring to the ride. Not performance. someone said it would be bouncy and I disagree because of the setup I have.<p>[ July 27, 2003: Message edited by: Custommx3 ]</p>

Ride and performance are related. What I'm saying is that, simply put, your butt isn't sensitive enough to feel the differences, but they are there.

what would it ake to get the 4 inch drop from the dropzone coilovers?

is there a way?

yes theres a way but i dont recommend it. look up at a previous post. it is posted in here some where. but think about this, at a 4inch drop you wont be able to go over speed bumps, drivewas will be a complete ***** and driving will just be one hell of a time. maybe an air ride suspension is in the call for you so you can raise and lower it for driving and what not. i dont know much about air ride suspension for im just learning just to learn about it even though ill never have it in my car...<p>[ August 05, 2003: Message edited by: ltjrunner ]</p>

DROPZONE ADJUSTABLE SPRINGS!!!!<p>Hey, I just installed them on my car today! And I have to say, these babies took the car down! But not nearly 4".. maybe about 1.5-2" max! they advertised wrong, but thats all you can go without scraping the tires, so its all good!<p>As to performance, I have noticed a bit better handling, and a lower seat is always fun. but other than that it is all for looks. the ride is stiff, and you can feel just about every bump in the road (and i installed new struts too!).. but i'm happy with them. As others said, I would agree that Intrax or Eibach is better. I dunno u decide. good luck dude<p>~ sam

If you want to go down lower you will probably have to remove the strut hat to allow the perch more movement.

You probably already have done your lowering as it`s a few months since the last post.

I got Koni`s + H&R springs.
