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.
That looks great!
Now get some cooler rims! ;)
Thats the first NC i've liked, good job.
Don't listen to William, less is more! ;)
Very nice!
I am probably buying an NC, early in 08....so I might be hitting you up with some questions....if that's ok.
Your car looks sweet lowered.
You should be sorry.... ::Clown::Quote:

Dayum, Miatamoto, those are some crappy, crappy pictures!;)
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.
Great! We went as low as possible with the negative camber in the rear and it was still at -1.9, so we went to -1.8 up front (could have gotten more) and a little toe in front and rear.Quote:

Nice ride!
So, what were the "before" numbers on the alignment?
I'll have to check when I get home, but they were scewed from the lowering. I'd guess the original ride height numbers were probably close to the ones I had on the RX-8 (-.5 front and -1.5 rear, in camber).Quote:

So....now that you have had the Tein S springs on for a while.
How do you like the ride compared to stock?, is it flatter in the corners?
If you want flatter cornering, consider some RX-8 sway bars/bushings.Quote:
