Springs from what car?

[ovendenk]

hey. i've been looking around and i know in the past there was a post describing which parts from which cars would fit on our cars, but i can't find it. i'm looking for eibach or tein lowering springs, but they are hard to find and expensive for our car. if i remember correctly, the 91-97 escort and early 90's 323 suspension parts would fit. am i wrong? are there any other car's that share our suspension?

any help is very much appreciated.

i beleive all escort (91+) will work. but I KNOW 91-96 for sure, and 90-94 protege's. I also know Eibach has springs for your car, and if not, they make them for the Escort.

so, these would work. i'm gonna pick them up in cali when i'm there for a wedding next weekend.

but the spring rate would be different between the MX-3 and the Escort.

There isn't much difference in weight between the mx-3 & the escort zx2. I looked it up & there is only like 50lbs. difference.

IMO I wouldn't get springs for the escort. I as well as a few others that have bought springs for an escort have a problem with the rear sitting about a 1 inch higher in the back than the front.

Mx-3 H&R springs are some of the stiffer ones for better handling.

I am going with those with the sprint springs for a protege for a 2in drop all around. I will probably end up ditching them for a slightly higher spring, as thats the setup thats on my 323, and its too low IMO as is.
