  2. Are we OK for the Saturday the 1st? Cheers Andy
  3. Yes, What time, 10-11am ish would be best for me? Thanks
  4. This next one, anytime you like?
  5. Parts will be here tomorrow. Do you do Saturdays? Cheers Andy
  6. Thanks, will let you know when they are here and book in.
  7. Got ir. Already bought them, should be here next week. Can you confirm price for fitting springs and spacers, including Geometry setup and if its a do it while you wait job. If you dont want to discuss prices on the Forum, here is my email andy@1stmx.co.uk Thanks
  8. OK I will get it all ordered and contact you to book in. Thanks again. Andy
  9. Is there any issue with spacers Geometry or additional wear wise? Was thinking 30mm each side at the rear and 20mm each side at the front, what do you think? When I know will buy the items and book in with you. Thanks for your help and advice. Andy
  10. Can you also supply wheel spacers, believe Eibach do those too? Cheers
  11. Spot on. Can you supply the springs? What will be the cost fitted including Geometry setup? How much will they lower the car and will it be lowered by the same amount front and rear? Cheers Andy
  12. You've lost me :-) Do you think the Eibach Pro (Softer) Springs or any other maybe progressive springs, will give me what I am looking for or do i need to swap out the dampers too? Thanks Andy
  13. I managed to find this last night. https://www.124spider.org/forum/153-brakes-suspension/6521-124-lowering-springs-4.html Are they progressive though? All I am looking for is to lose the harshness in the initial stroke, over small bumps when going slow, a little bit stiffer when driving faster would be OK? Let me know you thoughts. Cheers Andy
  14. I will see if I can find out the OEM spring rate and come back to you. Thanks Andy
  15. I did like it and it wasnt because of that I got rid of it, my brother in law came round and he had just bought an Abarth and I loved it, It is a bit bigger in the cabin and a lot more modern too.
  16. That makes sense then, would be lower and a bit more compliant over the small stuff? This is the Abarth 124 which has stiffer dampers and springs will it still work with that, it wont be "over damped"? Cheers
  17. It is all Standard. Didnt you say that would stiffen up the ride further? Cheers Andy
  18. That makes sense. Drove at the weekend, it feels quite good suspension when you are driving quickly. Its just slow driving and in towns, that is very harsh, like the suspension is not reacting quickly enough. Is it the springs that are the issue or the dampers? Are you advocating a set of Meister Coil Overs? Cheers Andy
  19. They are yellow. Thanks Andy
  20. Thanks Jammy. I have decided to not spend loads of money on my MX5, I have part exed it for an Abarth 124 Spider, the handling is really good on that but! Its a bit harsh when driving normally, does anyone know a) Can you get softer springs for it? Do the springs of the standard 124 fit, the Abarth has Bilsteins instead of whatever the standard car has though. b) Can you get Softer springs that will actually lower it about 25mm, or will softer springs automatically lower the car? Also the car turns almost too fast, in the wet feels a bit too frisky, can it be calmed down with geometry set up? Cheers Andy
  21. Thanks for the update Rich, Look forward to Tony's response when he gets back. Thanks again. Andy
  22. Hello I am newby to MX5 ownership. Love the little thing but it is so loose, soft and rolls a lot in the suspension. Need to wait for it to settle when changing direction. etc. Now that does make it interesting but also a bit unpredictable and is not confidence inspiring. I did quite a lot of web browsing and had decided on the the Ohlins Coilovers, I am biased to Ohlins because raced bike for a lot of years and have always used Ohlins. This Forum appears to advise that the Meister CRD's are better, but have also read that they produce more noise in the cabin somehow? Dont want any more unwanted noise. What I am after is the best suspension setup for fast road driving without losing too much comfort on day to day driving, would like to lower the ride height slightly and if they were adjustable so I can fine tune to my own preferences all the better. Can anyone advise/confirm that the Meister's are a better option than the Ohlins for my NC 2.0 2012 KURO version? Would like to get it booked in and set up. Thanks Andy
