Mr.Dean_Yates Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Trying to get my z lower, i like where it sits now, which is on bumpstops lol, but i also want suspension travel, so im gonna do coilovers with shorter struts...so basically i need to know befor spending the money, will stock miata strut inserts work for what im trying to do? this is where it sits right now, i need to lower the front but that too is on bumpstops :( thanks guys Quote Link to comment
Tice Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Why Miata Strut inserts? There are quite a few aftermarket coilover options out there. While Coilovers are pricey to begin with, I can understand wanting an alternate route to the same result, but why Miata? Are they significantly cheaper? Lower? I'm not trying to flame, I am genuinly curious, because if what you're trying to do works, I want in on it to! haha Quote Link to comment
Tice Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Oh wait, I just re-read what you posted. You're wanting Shorter struts... Like, Shorter Shocks... got it. My mistake. Well, keep us updated! Quote Link to comment

Well, keep us updated! yeah my buddy with a dime has miata inserts and has his housings chopped but no coilovers so he is stuck low...im gonna take this car to the track and want to be able to adjust the rear to fit some slicks...and i would like to be able to adjust overall height for every day driving and shows (obviously as low as possible for shows :) ) Quote Link to comment
Tice Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 I hear ya. Sounds like the ideal set-up... Unfortunatley, I have no experiance getting cars lower than their bumpstops... so I am of no help to you. :blush: Quote Link to comment
Mr.Dean_Yates Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 that fine...idek where to start for research. Quote Link to comment
Tice Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I haven't browsed them much, but with a name like "HybridZ" I imagine someone there has merged these parts together to make something worthy of street driving... Quote Link to comment
M240Z Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Hybridz doesnt like low but look up "crazy octopus'" build thread. Shows how to slam a s30 using s13 megans, im running a similar set up with stance, i can be on the diff if i wanted to. Arck001 who is a member on here is using apexi miata coilovers. Probably to keep costs down buy used miata coilovers and get your strut tubes made at a shop. Quote Link to comment
Mr.Dean_Yates Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 so the miata coilover sleeve and mr2 struts? i can do the tubes its not a problem, i just dont know what i need to replace/use thats relatively cheep in cost Quote Link to comment
