Amusing-ish video I made to test my Flip MinoHD.
Fitting my Mazdaspeed lowering springs tomorrow plus a few other bits. Will take plenty of photos as we go.

It does look a little bit lower! And if it feels better out on the road, then it's not all bad! (maybe get the grinder out though..... )

Yeah there's a noticeable difference there and you can't go wrong with the yellow indicators, I had them on mine too and it really gives it a unique look.

The old springs were probably really saggy. When i had my original springs on the MR2 and changed to Eibach's the drop was minimal but the handling was so much better - sounds the same as yours.
If you enjoy spirited driving then keep your new springs and forget the drop - my Tein Super Street coilovers don't give the same quality of ride that the Eibach's did.
Indicators look sweet.
I reckon tyre writing could look immense on this car?

Drop looks good. Gotta say I love so many things about this car, really increases my hankering for an MX5

Still looks awesome. And a bit lower in the very latest photos - perhaps it just needed to settle a little. Every time my old MX5 went up on a ramp it'd be like a 4x4 for the first ten minutes until the springs had settled.
Yellow indicators work well too. Wasn't sure they would at first but it really makes them stand out.

WIM are pretty knowledgeable aren't they. I need to go back with mine as they found out my top mount was shot half way through.....
Your car has definitely settled and is looking good!

Blimey they settled well! Both the racelands and now the Meister R's I've got didn't drop that much! Really glad they have as I've seen your car on Nutz and always thought it would look mega slightly lower and now it does... Result. The G.V lip looks rubbish though, how about if I cover the postage, you send it to me and I'll have it look rubbish on my car!

Sweat looking Roadster mate, I bought V-Spec about three years ago and still love it, something about the dark green body, tan leather and wood interior, very 60's looking, great cars and very addictive
