ok called around and yes they will fit!!! however apparently im going to need some shocks for them , something along the lines of GTR ones.

anyone know if i do need new shocks or will mine do the job?

apparently the shocks will start to leak really badly if i use the stock ones?

If you put superlow springs in with standard shocks, your ride quality will be ruined, the car may bounce all over the place and it will wear out the stock shockers very quickly, (if they arent dead already) you may want to put some short throw shocks in at the same time to get some suspenson travel back. for example i put K-Mac 2.5 inch lowered springs in mine with the standard shocks, and the car would bounce all over the road, put some Koni Yellows in fixed it all up.

thanks mate, how much did the konis set you back?

i'll probably wait a little while to buy the shocks as i dont need to put the springs on immediatly.

one of the mech's at F&F said he put gtr shocks on with his lowered springs on his gtst, and that the ride is really stiff, but that wont bother me, im hoping at the end the car handles better too.

Remember the cost of compensating the camber if you're lowering too, or you'll scrub the inside of your tires with too much negative.

I'm in at Inline Steering & Suspension in Qbyn next week to finally sort out my camber issues once and for all, and with a few hours of labour it aint cheap.

(I have fairly low and $#&% hard TEIN coilovers)

they set me back around 1200, theyre customised in some way, i forget which, as the gts and gtr shocks have different heights and where they bolt on at the bottom (on a 32).

yeah well the only reason i got the springs is because they were so cheap. ($70 in perfect condition) so spending $1200 is outta the question.

im sure there is a more cost effective way, but in the mean time i guess they will be sitting at home casue i dont want a sloppy ride with leaking shocks.

yeah im not really worried about the ride feel.

i just dont want to harm the shocks or any other parts of the suspension, if there wont be any damage to the shocks then i'll put them on b4 the photoshoot.

yeah isnt to hard, i'll take you up on that offer though, if they come in the next few days maybe you have some spare time help put them on? i dont think it will do any harm if they are on for a few weeks?

      I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.

      Wonder what the cause is, but here's hoping it's nothing too serious.

      People don't always want builds that are overly expensive, or have engineering/registration/insurance issues and head aches that come with them Whilst big dollar builds, and complicated stuff is interesting to watch, there is only a tiny % of people who would actually use this information, or have the spare finances to drop on said builds, whereas the buy a cheap(ish) cool car, and make it better, with a average budget, that the average Joe or Jane could achieve will always be a winner in my opinion

      Bit of a thread revival, you mentioned wanting a bit more top end before, do you regret not going with the 1.01?

      It's kind of interesting - They definitely do builds that split the difference between what they like and what will generate views and engagement. The NC Platform always surprises everyone in a good way, in an uncomfortably good way some may say. They could throw a LS in there and arguably have the best (and best performing) car of the entire stable. But that isn't necessarily what draws views, because people viewing don't want to accept the vegetables of a LS NC MX5 being a superior vehicle in every way (including fun) than a RB26 240Z. This is also why there's not a lot of content about the GR Yaris (on the web in general). They're too good, yet 'only a Yaris' The community doesn't want certain cars to be as good as they are - to beat their hero cars, and I believe the NC MX5 is absolutely one of those cars.
