    Lowered it! funny story... i cut about half the coils off of the springs in the front. she went low, drove it around a little bit... on our way back i hit a bump and both of the springs slip off of their seats and slashed both of my front tires. so we're stuck on the side of the road (main street) with two flat tires. brody has some miata wheels at his house- so his mom brings those to us. we go back to his house and get the jack, some tools and some snacks. we get back to my car and jack it up, get the wheels off, take out my struts, get the springs off, hook up my struts, put the miata wheels on, lower the car. sits titties. for a while i had 17 inch ricer wheels in the back and 14 inch miata wheels in the front, i wish i still had the pictures haha. and a few weeks later i got some new steelies/ tires and took the springs out of the rear so she doesnt have that gnarly rake anymore. now i need to do something about that wheel gap...

            I'm curious... either someone swapped a '93-'95 hood/front & rear bumper onto that car, or its not a '91.

              You're good, it was totaled and reconstructed before i bought it, so who knows what kind of parts are on it. And the trunk says twin cam, but its a single cam. lol

                    Haha, that was going to be my next question (the thread title didn't specify SL2). I've got a soon-to-be-running turbo project ('94 SL2) and a daily driven '95 SW2 myself.

                        3.lug studs are snapping in half for no reason??!!

                        DANE YOU ARE THE FUCKING MAN HAHA! I LOVE THIS CAR!

                            alrighty, i built myself a little skid plate because i was bored... it will most likely fall off when it hits something so i know its far from being a quality skid plate. its just for lols... here it is




                            also here is the shift antler that me and some buddies made and have been running for about a month or so... it would be an understatement to say that i love it.
