Flex install help
I'm really tired of always having the tallest car at the few meets I can actually attend! Anyone care to offer up a level driveway or garage, a torque wrench or three and some hands to install a set of Flex on my li'l white car?
N.B.: With zero experience in this area of a Miata, I'll need all the help I can get for install and ride height adjustment.
Food & beverages of choice are, of course, provided.
Looking at any of the following dates in August: 25, 26 or 31.
If you've never seen a short guy swear at inanimate objects, I swear it's a good time!

Uhmmm...no need for spring compressors with Tein Flex. They are a one-piece replacement. Pull the old ones out and replace with the new ones. You'll still need that big old pry bar to push down on the A-arms.Originally Posted by Magma
Nice, so much easier then

So now you just need a bunch of guys standing around giving directions.
I bet you'll even kick him in the ol' cabeza at no extra charge!

There is an easier way. Use the Hollis method and remove the long bolt from the upper A arm.
On the track, I am fearless.
If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

You and altiain can do it that way if you want... I still think it's easier to use the San Diego method. Rudedog's head was only damaged (was it?) because... get this... brake rotors turn!

Good thing the fastener used to attach the upper arm isn't a screw...Add me to that list the bolt Hollis method rocks!

+eleventyhundred.... I've done both methods more than once. The long-bolt is much easier.
Used the San Diego method numerous times and found it very easy. YMMV.
