I have the same set on my car for about 3 months now. Adjustability is awesome. I have my car about 1.75 inches lower than stock, and have had no issues. I paid $1100 for mine plus shipping.

heh.... i paid $45 shipped for the coilovers on the red 86..... rides pretty well.... except the struts are blown (were before i got the coilovers) so bad that when i was putting it all back together i had to hold the strut rod up to keep it from sinking back into the base....

well... to be more specific.... they aren't the same as a "real" coilover.... they don't have an integrated strut (hence why I had to use the old struts.... not a big deal... i plan on swapping for new struts anyways, and having the spring perches for the front cut and rewelded an inch or so lower as well) and are somewhat of a "universal" setup with a car type attached....

again.... just go to ebay and look for 1st gen miata coilovers

uh, yeah..... because suspension takes like 15 min to get out..... and i didn't feel like buying new struts yet..... it was a 'trial and error' type deal... the car wasn't running (no motor/tranny) at the time

no, similar to the ground control springs... (exact spring rates too... just different perches/hats from what i can tell in pictures).... for using the ground controls you need to drill the holes in the hats larger to fit the strut over them.... the ones i got were PERFECT... just had to do the usual grinding of the gland nut to get the perch to fit over (easily done in a few min with a bench grinder)
