I've just brought a mx5 Mk2 and I want to lower the car, with deep dish alloys with. Negative camber. Just wondering any recommendations for ride hight. Angles or camber and sizes of wheels front and rear. Thanks.

Re: Just got a mx5 mk2
Most of your questions are really a matter of taste, rather than having a proper answer.
The negative camber is a result of lowering the car, it's just how the suspension geometry works. YOu can adjust static camber via the eccentric bolts on the control arms.
Ride height, really up to you, my GF's car used to be at 50mm, looked good, drove ok. It got lifted back up to about 100mm since it kept scraping driveways etc. Now it's back at stock (like 140mm) since she often needs to drive up/down gutters to park it.
Wheel size, depends what you want. WIthout touching anything at all you can fit a 15x8+25 on an NB. wider or lower offset will clip guards.
