King Springs Question

Postby shake and bake » Wed Jul 21, 2010 5:49 pm

Hi all.

Early warning, i have absoultely no knowledge on this topic. :oops:

I have a set of king springs lying around from the previous owner of the car (nb8b). They apparently had to be taken off and replaced by the stock springs to obtain the RWC, he said the car was too low? When i first saw the car it had the kings installed and didnt look particularly low. The king spring box says "Mazda MX5 OEM Coils"

Im not enitrly sure that this story about the RWC is correct. What do you guys think? The car is running on 18inch wheels and I have the town and country exhaust system installed which seems to be tucked away quite nicely, do you see either of these things contributing to the issue?
I understand there are plenty of people running king springs on their 5's, have any of you had simillar issues?
Ive heard via the grapevine that the height limit is 100mm at the lowest point (im in VIC) does that sound about right?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
