How did you get the rear to sit so low with the coil overs. I've got the same ones and my rear is still a bit too high. Front is spot on.

They are running standard preload on the spring collar. The height adjust bit is bottomed out. They wil settle over time, my rears were sitting a tad high when they were first installed. They have settled a bit now

Hey Regie, great to finally meet yesterday ! Your car looks and sounds awesome and watching you get your ass out on the slow corners was great fun. I think the funniest thing was listening to Deen take your car out in the hills - for about 10k's we could hear him giving it stick !!!

Some more goodies on their way :D

After all the recent rain, I've found a variable intermittent wiper stalk off a rx8... Just shot messages off to sellsr of wrecked rx8's on eBay. $55 delivered..cheap as!

The 4.1 will prolly be installed in the next 2 weeks, and I'm starting discussions with Chris @ mx5 racing about a reflashed ecu. I'll have to make the trip up the coast to check it out!!

Say tuned : :D

And considering they normally cost ~$1700...a good buy.
BUT you may need to buy new wheels to clear them :frown:

Flash tune very close now.

Chris from mx5 racing has taken my ecu parameters, they will be modified then installed into my car.

Had a nc targa car ecu in my car for a run around the streets. Wow what a difference it makes!

I was depressed when my original ecu was installed, car felt slow driving home..haha

4.1's will be installed soon after the flash : :D

Flash tune is done....it's awesome!

I've given the car a full fluid change in preparation for the upcoming track days. Looking forward to a thrash on the track!

I've also ordered some new auto lite spark plugs and hp+ brake pads. They are both on special on amazon.com if anyone is interested....shipping is super cheap also!
