    Too many people believe that lowering springs can't go with stock struts. As long as they are still healthy it's mostly fine

    Hi there thanks for the video I own a mazda mx5 RF 2022 and I really wanna fill the gap between fenders and wheels and I'm so confused to how to fill the gap I'm just like using the car for daily use going to work home etc... not racing tracks at all Wanna go with lower springs but worried about shock get ruined and tires rubs faster than original springs because this what I heard about lowering the car Could you help me find out best solution

  • @andrewwang3900

    I would consider lowering springs (only) because your car is still rather new. No need to replace shocks unless you want to spend more $$. That's assuming you don't have electronic damper shocks (I don't know the details for a 22 Miata.) Yes, it most likely will wear out the tires and shocks faster, but that's the price one pay for lowering springs, or appearance modifications. IMO, Miata is already a balanced car engineered from the factory. Some call the handling "magical." I would think lowering springs may change the characterize of the car.

  • @ryanhill7318

    Another year along, how have you felt the ride quality? Still comfortable? We have a Hyundai Kona Electric, and Eibach makes a Pro Kit for us now. We have 7k miles on it so the stock hardware is quite fresh. We don't drive it alot.....but the roads here are bad. That said, if we had to replace the struts at 60k vs. 100k that's a fair tradeoff considering I do most of our work. Would you do it again?

    I did not get spacers because I didn't think it was needed. The 19" wheels are pretty big, wide, and heavy that I didn't want to add any more unsprung weight. Plus, I don't trust spacers on a daily driver.

    Not that I think the OEM shocks are bad, I would try something else. I like Tokico (blues) with lowering springs such as Pro Kit or something similar. Was happy with this combo in the past. It's not expensive, and does the job with daily driving around town.

    The most I've carried in the backseat are two kids about 100 lbs each. No rub or bottoming out. I don't know how it would be if have two 200 lbs adults in the backseat. I also have a minivan, so I don't use the Accord to carry many passengers. So it's just the driver +1 95% of the time.

    Might be close with rubbing. Would depend on the profile of the tires. I would watch that carefully, or drive carefully until you are sure. May have some rubbing situations, and you’ll have to decide if you can live with it.

    I don't know much about doing an actual alignment, other than finding the right person to do it. Looking at the results, look like they can only adjust the toe angle.
