    Ive been quite busy over the last couple of night and this is the result




    Geting the front shocks off was quite hard as my garage is tiny but in the end i won, now the new front shocks are on all the bolt were seized which made the over all job horrible. So i will be replacing them with nice new ones, i need to roll the front arches a little more as it catching but fitment is perfect and i havent even added any camber yet. going to attack the rear shocks tomorrow not looking forward to it but im over the moon with the front, just hope i dont have and problems with the rear drive shaft hitting the coilover unit. Im also on the hunt for a hard top as my plastic rear window has split and now i have a gaping whole for a rear window lol

        thanks dude .. you will love it they are so much fun and very cheap well i got the rears fitted and well it very low, the fitment once again is spot on with out any camber but i would like a little bit. Only problem i had was getting the tyres inflated on the wheels using the bike tyre method

        i just found this clip on youtube to help explain/show what i mean, It has worked so far just cant seem to do the last wheel and its really annoying me but i shall take some more pictures in the morning to show how good the fitment is

                Bike tire method sucks. I've done all my tires with starter fluid and fire, works every time.

                    i got myself an arch roller, works great on the arches with out any rust but sadly my rear left arch isnt in great shape thanks to lots of rust

                    my plan is to get most of the sills replaced and the left rear arch then get them all re shaped and all the body work touched up so she looking fresh

                      When i saw this



                      I would have NEVER thought it would fit like this






                      Fitment front and back is super nice! Love it..makes me wanna buy a Miata right away

                      195/45s were a good choice too. Whats the offsets, using spacers? EDIT: Just read they're ET0s - holy fuck man!

                        Welcome to SW, honestly front is way to much poke for me personally.

                        MX5 looks great though!

                              I like the wheel combo they work really well with the car shame about the arches being rusty, but a few tweeks here and there and that will look sweet again

                                Honestly, i wouldnt lower it more. And if that current stance is suitable for dailydriving what could you want more!?

                                So what are you gonna do about the rust? Spot respray and buffing?
