That was much easier than I thought it would be. The results are great to! When I test drove it it was a huge difference. And it was amazing how it handled better than the RB springs.
we cut two coils off to make sure. i'm getting pretty tired of taking sean's suspension apart. those shock rods kept spinning when we tried to tight the top nut and the pliers we used to hold them chewed them all up. we just used the cutting disk to grind the rods. it's good to go.
Oh I see, so you used the torch to cut/melt the springs.
I was thinking something else - not sure if it can be done though, and how the results would be...
I was thinking that you compressed the spring to the degree that you wanted and the warmed them up with the torch so they will stay in that condition...
i want pics as well.
coilovers are a long ways off, but i have a thicker front sway bar to help with body roll, and a lower ride height (with a slightly stiffer rate thanks to spring cutting) and shortened shocks would be nice.

when i first got my roadster i put those silly RB street springs.but i hated that Rake they have.
so i cut two coils off the rear. it looked good after that.
if i had those same RB springs , i would cut em in a heartbeat.
but i would never waste my time flaming the stocks again.
i bet its better than stock , but what isnt.
im sure you guys knows whats up, so enjoy it.
depowered a 90 rack by removing the inside seal and welding the rotary valve, putting everything back together rn. i’m leaving the parts in the first pic out like the Miatabusa tutorial says to do, but when reassembling everything, in order to get the bearing at the very bottom of the pinion...

Hey everyone! I'm looking to get some low in my life here soon and get away from my current 4X4 status lol I think I have my heart set on picking up a set of Tein Street Advance coilovers, but I wanted to get an idea of what other Miata people run on their rides before I make my final...
Will using a non abs front hub bearing on an abs car cause any problems? or can i simply press out the abs ring from the worn bearing and put it on the non abs hub bearing?
