Lowering

It was just lowered by about 5mm. The springs were stiffer than the old stock ones and killed the rear stock shocks - oil leaked out everywhere. A set of adjustable Konis fixed it all. I would definitely have gone for adjustable Tein springs and shocks if they had been (or I had known they were) available then.

The SS would be my pick.......and the Oz version is well sorted for the MX-5 and our rubbish roads.
