    Default NC with TEIN S-tech springs

    I installed some TEIN S-tech springs on the new MX-5 yesterday. They were about a small increase in spring rates, but it's not really noticeable driving around the neighbor hood.

    It definitely got rid of the 4x4 ride height. The car was lowered right around the published numbers of 1.8" F and 1.3" R.

    Sorry for the crappy pics.

    I really want those Work wheels that Driftdevil is selling, but I don't think that is in the budget right now.

    Despite the low quality pics, I could see the difference immediately. Sounds to me like someone needs their eyes checked. Medicare should cover it for you.

    Dayum, Miatamoto, those are some crappy, crappy pictures!
    What's left of a '96 Miata with stock clutch.
    My car exceeds my driving ability. That's the only possible explanation.

    Looks good, 'moto. Looks better in person.

    So how did the alignment work out today? I was up there around 9:30am, and Bam was able to get -1.8 out of the fronts after the RB springs, even with the caster up around +7.5.
