Roughly a 6-7" drop. Haven't measured, just eyeballed. Frame rails are currently lower than a quarter.

How will it blow faster if the spring rates are way too high for the car? I'm almost certain he meant shorter springs for 12/10K which Swift offers.

Did the front coils on Saturday. Going to do the rears this upcoming weekend.


It's lower than it looks from these pictures. Huge wheel-wells and 16" wheels make it look higher than it is.


To go any lower I have to start removing perches.

The rear won't go any lower. Fortuner Auto Coilovers 12k 10k. The rear has no collars and the mount is threaded up as far as possible. Can I get the shorter 10k Swift springs without risking blowing the dampener since that would have the same effect as cutting springs?
And you thought you were low on those steelies....

I don't understand how any true car guy could "laugh" when they see a guy driving a miata. It's a super lightweight rear wheel drive roadster with great handling that pulls design cues from the timeless lotus elan. Who the fuck cares if they have a reputation as a female's car?


Also, here is my daily driver:



A pignose lip would make it look lower, but I don't mind the added clearance for driveway entry.
