hey guys i have a 97 protege LX and iom getting 17" rims and im noticing that its a lil bumy the ride and i was wondeirng wat kind of suspension i should get to dimish the feeling of bumps on the road? thanks in advance!

 

for the best ride possible, you need to get airbags. if you don't have the money for that, my personal favorite is tokiko shocks wrapped in tein springs. it makes the ridea little more rigid, but a more rigid ride makes you take the bumps all at once and then it's over. with a softer ride, your car tends to float after you hit bumps. the tokiko/tein setup is kind of pricy, but the quality is great. if you have about three grand to drop, i can hook you up with a guy that will get you one of the most complete kits that you can find. airbags are pricy, but they are worth it.

 

thanks but im in the budget of like ONE thousand dollars... and i want a comfortable ride too u know!

 

on a thousand dollar budget, i would say that a full tokiko setup would be cheap and affordable. you wouldn't be able to opt for the tein springs, but tokiko makes a good spring too.
