My flexes got here yesterday. Can't wait to get them installed!

 

[Caldera]

When you doing the install?

 

[ExHondaMan]

Word. Congrats. What spring rates did you get?

 

[griplimited]

where'd you get them from and how much if you dont mind me asking? congrats and post pics when done installing.

 

[Agent935]

Spring rates are unknown. Got them almost completely unused, but still second hand from a very-unkowledgeable ebay seller who was parting out some miata parts but mostly sells bicycles. I got them for $880 including shipping though so I'm not too picky.

Matt, I have no idea when I've got time to install. I just finished moving to my new house so lots of boxes and unpacking await me fro a while. If your lift is free some weekend I might be able to make time. If not I have a friend in Beaverton who has offered to let me use his garage. No lift, but it's nicer than My garage.

Heh. Our lift is full of limousine body at the moment. The frame is outside, but Jason is doing work on the body atm. I was curious in general though, let me know when you decide to do it and if you need a spare set of hands/tools/jack, etc.

cool. Still have to get it running first before i can do suspension install. Have to check the timing belt make sure it didn't skip a tooth. and that the woodruff key is still intact. I've been too lazy/sick/busy to get it done.

GOt the car aligned and balanced on friday moning at AR Auto Service. Balanced within 3lbs for all four corners with Me in the car. Car turns in like a monster now, and still rides a lot nicer than it did on those old Bilsteins and RB springs.

 

[Miatamoto]

Very nice!

You got a killer deal on the Flexes! :shock:

 

[anti-FWD]

if you have stock sways and the car behaves very tail happy then mybe its still stock springs.

 

[Agent935]

RB solid front, no rear. Not too tail happy at all. I imagine the springs are 7/5.

 

[reversecaoboy]

i think the flex springs are 7/6 no?

i found a set of flexes for a deal as well. hope to get them soon.

 

[xvolcomx19]

any install pics yet? also do the Flex come with a full shock boot cover? i see on yours the shock boot is covering the whole top shock where the spring is and on some its missing or just doesnt have the bottom half the the silver part is exposed?

 

[Agent935]

SOrry, no pics of thecar witrh the flexes on, yet. Waiting on some bodywork to get done.

Oh and as to the boots, the front has the half cover and the rear has the full cover.
