recommended suspension install for mx5 in melbourne?

thanks in advance

What needs to be done?

I recommend Tony from full tech down at Burwood. 98887499

Or do it yourself....save yourself $200+ and get to know your car better.......you might even be able to get a forum member or two to help you.......ie I live in Chelsea and have done multiple suspension upgrades on all three of my MX-5s.

wow thanks!

i changed the suspension once by myself - took me most of a day and was very sore afterwards. and i dont have a torque wrench

to be done:
fit bits to coilovers
replace stock coilovers with coilovers
adjust height
wheel alignment

what do you guys think?

What do you mean by fit bits to coilovers, especially when you are replacing the existing ones?
Which coilovers are you putting on?

I bought parts to add (abs hose clips) and replace (bump rubber) to the coilovers that i had originally installed. these bits should have been installed in the first place

i took them out myself because the car was too low

they are hks coilovers

hahah for sure!!!

Advanced Suspension in Moorabbin did a great job on my car. He's more into Torana's but know's his stuff. Also did a very nice alignment for me.
