[smithy]

Well I have finally bought some new flat out whiteline springs,KYB struts and new strut tops for my hardtop and will install them all tomorrow.I will post pics when I get time.I cant wait.:D

Flat out... Geez thats gonna be slammed.

ive got contol springs and thats dropped it about 25-28mm. Enough for the back to scrub under hard cornering without any passengers.

Id love to see some photo's of the ride height

Yeah rupe after missing out on so many struts from the auctions i just bit the bullet and bought them from astro.Should look good.

I had the flatout's too.. however i only had 15" wheels so no scrubbing issues for me.

Looking forward to the pics..

Well got the struts and springs in today.Used a mates workshop so it was a lot easier with a hoist.Had the lot done in about 4 hrs.Car looks great with about 40mm from tyre to guard.I havent had a wheel alignment yet as I will let it settle for a week before I do it.Ride is much firmer but doesnt seem to jar too much on rough roads so I think I will be happy with it.Will post pics over the weekend.Car feels so much more agile now and will be even better once it is wheel aligned.Next will be the whiteline swaybar.

The only thing you may need to do now is to install a Camber and caster kit for it. When you lower a car that much its geometry is a long way out

Gone from the 4wd look to a nice tough stance.I'm happy :)

Love the stance, and the mx5 rims really suit the car well!
