How Low would You Go?

[Yetiboy01]

mine is still at 1 (4wd).

I was thinking of getting coilovers (yellowspeed or alike) to firm the suspension up and lower it to 2-3.

If I go with standard type shocks (kyb or tokico etc) is there any premade non-coilover springs that give a 2 or 3 ride height? King spring lows for example?

I've got a set of Carrols springs that I had in for a week, looked great but found it a hassle to drive around as it is my daily driver & I'm an old fart & am used to lifted vehicles, the MX5 fits under my jeeps chassis rails

I just fitted low kings springs and koni yellows to the front and Im surprised that the ride height didnt change.
I know the std springs would have sagged but--- damn I really thought it would go lower

You can get Kings to make a custom set of whatever spring rate and height you want.
(last time I got kings to do this for me, prob about 7 years ago now, it was the same price as their off the shelf springs)

I emailed kings springs and their reply was
"
Our low part numbers and rates are

KMFL-52 front 165-215lb

KMRL-53 rear 105-160lb

Custom coils will be approx $320.00 per pair and can do your required rate
in linear rate.

$640 for springs is pretty steep thats nearly half way to buying decent coilovers.

How much did they drop your car? Do you know the rates? Im dissappointed with my kings low springs

Have you tried changing the spring perch position on the yellows, datfreak?

hey smy
They are set on the middle spring perch- i will move to the lower one but that will only give another 5mm(ish). the adjustments on the yellows dont allow for much change.

I finished installing the back ones last nite and have found the back ones gave more drop then the front ones, so thats good.
Maybe the standard front spring have had more work over their life and have sagged more then the back? dunno

When I installed bilsteins, my car went up a good 60mm. The stock springs had sagged that much.
Am expecting a 2cm gap in tyre and guard when I fit the king lows.
