My new springs/shocks finally arrived yesterday - I’ve been waiting for what seems like forever. Flyin’ Miata springs, Tokico Illumina shocks. Flyin’ Miata redesigned their springs and it took much longer for them to get them than expected. They were supposed to get them in March (when I ordered) but didn’t get the NB springs until last week. I expect about a .75" drop and a much better ride - my shocks are about 25k miles overdue :bloated:. Not to mention handling should be way up due to about double the spring rates (318 lb/in front, 223 lb/in rear) :tup: ![http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y111/LordAriakan/Install/SonyTest066.jpg](http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y111/LordAriakan/Install/SonyTest066.jpg) P.S. Yes that’s my roll bar in the back…I’ve got a lot of work ahead of me… ---
