These stops are a direct replacement for the factory units and are offered at a very reasonable price. Trimming or cutting is an effective method to shorten the length of the bump stops for the Protégé, but we have found an even more effective alternative - we offer the bump stops that Mazda designed for use on 'lowered' Protégé MP3/Mazdaspeed application. When reducing the ride height of a vehicle through the use of lowering springs, it is normally recommended that you 'trim' the OEM bump stops to accommodate the resulting reduction in suspension travel. Finished with a brilliant Racing Beat Red powder-coat paint, these springs will offer the Protégé enthusiast years of handling performance. These springs have a rate increase of approximately 21% over the stock springs. Originally designed by Racing Beat for use on the Protégé MP3, these springs are designed to lower the Protégé and offer improved handling and styling. Racing Beat offers premium suspension springs for the Protégé models listed above.
