90-97 Mazda Miata "Flying Miata" Suspension Springs - $200

[paultg]

I have a used set of FM springs; purchased/installed in May 2008. Car was crashed (front end hit) in September and considered a total loss. No suspension damage; have pictures if needed. Less than 2000 miles on the springs. Will ship for additional cost, would prefer local pick up.

From the Flying Miata site (http://www.flyingmiats.com):
They are well known for providing a good balance of street ability and track performance. We recently changed the design slightly to give the suspension more room to work. The spring rates are 318 lb/in front and 233 lb/in rear and the springs are a linear design. While these rates might sound high compared to some other springs on the market, they are stiff enough to keep your car off the bumpstops. Softer springs will often give a worse ride because they allow you to blow through your suspension travel and end up on the stops. Powdercoated.

How much will they lower your car? We can`t tell you, because Mazda changed the ride height of Miatas over the years. However, if you measure from the center of the wheel to the fender lip, your car will end up 12.5-13" in the front and 13-13.25" in the rear if it's a 1990-97. It's not a huge drop but once you drive the car you'll appreciate how well it works. Set of four. Not recommended with stock shocks - the higher spring rates are too much for stock shocks to handle.
