    H&R springs will get you low as well as KONI shocks. AGX's are for the more budget oriented i guess... though the KONI's are like $100 more. IMHO the Tein springs are quite soft.

    The GV lip is nice.... now get some TSI's and paint the lower rocker panels white to match the car (thats why it looks so high up). Oh and the WW spoiler looks great.

    I had the RB springs and Koni's on my 96......but you can see how much the painted sides make the car look lower... (custom pearl white FTW)

    Thanks mate. Engine Systems is where I work. The Miata is just the stock 4
    banger. I used to have an E30, hence the SN. Guess I need a name change.

    Ian--Haha, you know what's consuming all of my income now. The Miata is pretty much going to stay the way it is.

    Badger--You're right about the Teins, they're a little soft for my taste already. Yours does look good with the rockers painted btw. And the wing on my car isn't a Wings West piece, it's actually from some rare Motorsport Aero 7 kit that was discontinued some time ago. I've never seen another one.

    cdhtang--Hard Dog Hard Core bar, Fidanza 8lb flywheel, Rota MSR 15x6.5s, Tein S-Techs, KYB AGX's, Racing Beat front swaybar, custom header and Flowmaster 40 exhaust, front strut bar, removed AC and power steering, gutted interior except for door panels and dash pad, front and rear spoilers, Hawk HPS on the front. That's about it.

    Daytime pics, these are before it was lowered:

    Sure did! It's been an absolute gem. Never had a single problem out of it, despite merciless abuse.

    Darrin--Yeah I kinda thought the same thing. The front stayed about the same, but the back dropped quite a bit. I like it though, I can still get in and out of driveways.

    ya i could make it over driveways with the eibachs, the lip hit often, but thats why i used zipties, they let the lip bend.

    but your car looks amazing, sadly my 7 took a dump thursday morning so i couldnt make it to the varsity. BUT i am seriously looking into a 302/lt1 swap for the 7. if u know some1 with a totalled out mustang gt let me know.

    please don't do that thing where people intentionally destroy their rotary before moving to V8, anything you take out to make way for the piston engine, I'll take off of your hands.

    www.rspeed.net located in Marietta.

    Straight6 will have to answer on the decklid unit.

    The duckbill spoiler is from the Motorsport Aero 7 kit which was discontinued some time in the mid 90's. Hand-laid fiberglass, fits really nicely. I have no idea where you'd find one. I had a hard time even finding out what it was.
