well that was incredibly painless, My neighbour and fellow mx5 owner gave me a hand (or i should say I gave him a hand ) to fit a new set of kyb's with kings on them. took a total of 2.5 hoursto do the whole lot. the only thing that had to be disconected on the front and back was the swaybar. amazing how easy it is when done by someone that knows what they are doing. rides nice, i have them on the softest setting , corners great and dosen't crash over the bumps anymore. will get a wheel alignment on monday. The king lows are a good height
the old springs were 290 front and 325 rear the kings are 320 front and340 rear,so its about 30mm under stock now. looks good.
