Default My wife's Protege5

Here are the pics of my wife's P5 lowered on Tein S Tech Springs. The pics dont do the drop justice. It looks much lower in person.

Big thanks to Dave Yo for putting them on the car for me.

Here's a picture of a stock black P5 (not the same car since we dont have any pics of it stock)



Dropped:

At least do a retro:



Looks good, Jonn. Do I dare say that the MP3 needs a bit of a drop too? :*****:

I don't think my headlights will fit - apparently they're slightly different from sedan to wagon. :wtf: But if you score a set of lights, I'll definitely help you.

Can't drop car - need 15x7 wheels instead ... *thinks* ... YES, definitely need 15x7 wheels ...

Very nice. BHG how long has it been since it was lowered? I'd imagine the springs would settle a bit more in the coming days/weeks?

Cool chop, that actually looks way better than half the P5's you see running around the GTA. Most of them are so ricey. As for the wheels, I dont think I want to put wheels on it just yet. Its hard to find a rim that looks good on it. JDM ITR wheels maybe?

Hahahaha I thought we were parked in the "family" parking spot. I'll give you a shout, this car needs your magic touch.

Its good seeing you and your fiancee. For some reason we always run into each other there.

No worries Jonn. Any time you want. Black is my fave colur to polish. Its also the hardest. Rajes Rexy came out nice. I love those P5 or Famillia the JDM name.

I dont like those wheels. I think I'll grab a set of Mazda 6 wheels or Mazda 5 wheels.

But no more spending on this car.
