When i was looking to get my car lowered I was recommended to go to Wheels World in Ozbourne park by a member of the WA MX5 club. I was very happy with there service. If you go tell them the guy with the shiny red NA recommended you! :D

Thanks for the info. Just the sort of inside word I was chasing. Once I get the NB back on the road and registered, I can start my shopping spree in earnest.

What do you need? :mrgreen:

Start by reading my recommendations based on my experience with MX5s here -> clicky.

You definitely get what you pay for and as I mention in the post that I linked above, you should do bushes, end links, swaybars and a TB roll bar (or proper cage) to get it right and depending on your purpose.

Some of us have been playing with MX5 suspension for over two decades so why not make use of the knowledge and experience in the club as well? Come to a motorsport event (I happen to also be the motorsport manager) and you can see and feel all the different set ups that I recommend. For more info on MX5 Club of WA Motorsports, check out the coming events section of the club website (http://www.mx5club.com.au).

For suspension advice and prices, please PM me or email leslie at mx5shop dot com dot au
