I installed my TEIN lowering springs yesterday and was kind of dissapointed. I only dropped what appears to be about 3/4" in the front and maybe a 1/4" in the rear. I noticed before install that the TEIN rear's (actual springs) were taller than my factory Racing Beats. I'm kind of wondering now if maybe I was sent the wrong one's, maybe for a P5? Can anyone please let me know if they had this same problem and what I should do? Thanks.

is the part number on the box for the sedans?

you need to wait about 2 weeks for the springs to completely settle. you probably will only get a 1"Front and 3/4"Rear drop in addition to the drop the RB's gave your car.

Keep in mind the MSP is already dropped when compared to a regular Protege, so the "sedan drop specs" are going to be slightly less on a MSP. That plus the already tuned suspension..

give it a lil bit, a friend of mine has the teins on his sedan and he parked it next to my protege, it was significantly lowered

Are these the springs or the SS damper kit?

Myself, I will go only for true coils.

Thanks for the info. I think they have dropped a little more just after driving on them today.
