That's going to be a real fun car. Any plans for autocross? A few mods and that will be sick.

Lol. I'm thinking about dropping a ZE in mine, but I'll have to see how funds are this summer. If they are lacking, I might just sell mine and get an ES.
Good luck with the Miata...very fun car! :goodjob:

a drop has become a must have, other than that nice car. I would definately have one as a dd/beat the shit out of it car if I fit in one and had $$$

i have asked on miata.net but most of them say keep same springs get new shocks, but i honestly cant stand the wheel gap

Depending on your budget there are a few faves in the Miata crowd.
Ground Control coilovers with Koni adjustables....cant go wrong.
Tein coilovers, a couple different setups available, Tein Basic being the most affordable. That might even be more cost effective then the Koni/GC setup.
I would avoid the typical Ebay coilover crap...unless you dont care about handling. For a "cheap" drop you could do Tein or Eibach lowering springs and some KYB AGX shocks. The AGX's are good, the springs have no adjustment obviously. I would skip the Racing Beat springs myself...they will leave your car with and obvious rake upward in the rear. Ugh.
Fat Cat Motorsports offers some interesting products as well.
I should add if you wish to test drive a non oem setup I have a car that has an Eibach/Koni setup. I can let you take a spin.
