Can still drop it a bit more but I wanna wait for this autoX season to end first Also I'm thinking of notching my rear axle, the exhaust pipe is getting kinda annoying...anyone else do this yet?

If your going to actually race with the coilovers, your going to want to raise it up. Taking that much suspension travel out is really only negatively affecting your performance. It does look nice though.

You don't lose wheel travel with Stance coil overs. The body itself is threaded, so you are moving the mounting points, not the length of the springs.



Rides the same, regardless of the height.

A kid I met at 100dod named Seth has a silver NB Miata on work 17's that sits about the same height, or at least it did until he started changing everything this winter.. Still, looks sweet.



Oh, and my 4x4 height LS is in the top left corner too....

Yeah that's my friend Seth's car. Those are actually 16"x9" Work Varianza's.....not 17"s. He drove all the way up from VA beach for this event and was there both days (I was only there on Sunday). I also knew the previous owner of this car, Dillon, who lives in Texas.

Then you may have met us.. We were there with the blue corolla and black S13, both running the pink PS Tuning stickers.. He parked right across from us..

And I didn't realize they were 16's. I thought he was one of the only guys running 17's on club roadster. Idk, I wasn't really paying attention to much that weekend, much less on sunday..

I was only there on Sunday. I don't really recall who all I talked to that day other than the people I knew.
