Tein 99-04 Protege 4dr sedan (exc MP3 03+) / 01-04 Protege 5 (5dr Hatch) H. Tech Springs

These Tein H. Tech lowering springs are made for your 2001-2003 Mazda Protege sedan (excluding the 2003 MP3 model) and your 2001-2004 Mazda Protege5 hatchback. They're designed to give your car a more aggressive stance by lowering the ride height, which also helps improve handling by reducing body roll during cornering.

Tein uses a cold-winding process for these springs, which helps maintain their spring rate consistency and durability. The springs are powder-coated to resist corrosion, keeping them looking good and functioning properly for a long time. This is a popular choice for Protege owners looking for a noticeable drop without going too extreme, typically resulting in about a 1.5-inch to 2-inch drop depending on the specific model and factory suspension condition.

When installing these springs, you'll need to reuse your factory spring isolators and bump stops. It's also a good idea to have your alignment checked after installation to ensure everything is set correctly for optimal tire wear and handling.
