    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.

    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

    Can you also supply wheel spacers, believe Eibach do those too?

    Cheers

    Keep the dampers nothing will better them. The pro coils are progressive meaning as i said low compression cycles which equal's normal driving suitable to your needs, whereas the main body helix which is where the main rate suits the more aggressive driving..... Fast-road/ track.

    If the rates are F162 R97 then that's quite sedate but remember the Bilstein's are gas. Normally pig-tailed coils are progressive with the smaller helix working low compression cycles and the larger helix high compression.

    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

    It's a shame you got rid of the MX5 before getting it setup properly. They are awesome cars to drive with the right geo and believe the difference between a good and bad one is night and day.

    Enjoy the new motor though :)

    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.

    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"?

    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

    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

    Missed a point

    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
