The ride is amazing. My car corners so much better and literally sticks to the road. I was riding on blown shocks before so of course the ride was going to improve but I didn't think it would be this amazing. The Eibach springs are fantastic, very easy to put in as well. I highly recommend them.

I used G2 caliper paint. I highly recommend it. There's enough paint to do your calipers four times over and it comes with easy instructions.

Now for some pictures:

that looks great! Nice even gap front and back.
I like the other mods you have done as well (tint, wheels, shave).

Nice. I like the way it sits now. Makes me want to lower my 3 too.

Thanks everyone! It is a blast to drive. I have 245s on the car right now and so there was some concern about the tires fitting but they do! It's so much fun to drive. After my alignment I'm going to tear up some mountain roads on my way to Steamboat Springs

Yep

I can fit my pinky in the space between the tire and the sidewall at full wheel lock.

I'm down! I haven't been up those roads in a long time.

i have 225 in the fronts and 235 in the rear and im rubbing wtf lol

I used to race on 255s and I was still fine, a little bit of rubbing when I was at wheel lock but it wasn't too bad.

I got the tires to break loose yesterday in town... had to adjust the shocks accordingly afterward. Tried it again and they didn't come loose. God these shocks rock.

I rub at times at full lock with 185s on the Miata lol. It's lowered pretty far though and the offset on the stock wheels is way in. The tires are completely inside the fender wells. With a lower offset (I think) the wheels would be closer to flush and less likely to rub I think.

Nice work on the suspension!

Be sure to give me a holler if/when you guys head out.

lol rubbing with 185s thats funny. then again it is a miata.

i have 205s wrapped around a 10in wide wheel on the rx7 to keep the tires from rubbing, unfortunately the rear rims rub on the springs lol. its in desperate need of spacers
