Thanks Jeo & Coffeeboss
its just frustrating moreso...
my car will be at least another week now. but the guys at Lingane Auto Body Repairs seem very detailed so I am happy that they seem to care so much
Do you have any other suggestions for suspension options?

Hello everyone, SE bilsteins are the best bang for your buck. they give a great firm ride without being harsh. Make sure you get the original SE springs, as they are well matched, if you use other springs they will be too stiff or they will bunny hop (springs too soft), Don't worry too much about the age of the shocks, we (the MX5 club went to tech night at Heasmans, Sydney Bilstein distributor) were told that bilsteins are designed to only lose 5% of their ability after 100,000 kms, unlike other brands designed to only last 100,00kms.
Also if you want to lower your car too much it just becomes a painful every time you see a speed mountain.
Interesting fact if you lower the NA or NB by 25 mm you only lower the centr of gravity by 6 mm (read in one of the MX5 books).
