Makita springs.

They can go as low as you want, basically custom done for each car.

Have a look at miata.net. Flyin' Miata are sponsors of the Suspension, Handling & Brakes section, so you should be able to find out plenty of information there.

Tein monoflex, lots of adjustment and plenty of support when you need them rebuilt.

Now a serious answer from me.

Mazdaspeed springs.

why I like them:
Progressive rate, so still comfortable, but once they get loaded theysupport the car very nicely in corners.
also an even and not crazy lowering amount front to back (25mm all round) compared to the Tein S-Tech which are uneven for some reason? (20mm Front, 33mm Rear)

and as Pam keeps telling me, I'm a Mazdaspeed whore so it gives me another product to tick off the list

And a serious answer from me. Although I love my HKS gear, the teins are a great solution. For me I see no point going to coilovers unless you want proper performance. Its a just front shocks and springs into the serious stuff so I dont understand products like tein superstreets. They Just dont provide the performance of monoflex and just arent as comfy as stock, Its a compromise that I dont understand. There are some superfast cars with the monoflex and parts and support in australia is awesome, so Id highly recommend them. Dont forget to buy different bumpstops to go with your koni/king style combos also.

tein SS (aussie spec) heaps more comfortable than stock especially if you use an edfc to adjust on the fly
Correct spring rates for australian roads (Not too sure if you wanted to use them on a track pig)
Probably need firmer spring rates.
Don't do track days so not an issue.
Able to get the ride height i want, not so low that it looks like one of those ricer nissans.
ADR compliance number to keep my car 100% legal. (important to some not to others :beer:

)
No right or wrong answer here everybody's car usage and needs are different
