I nearly bought this car a couple of years back. I recall the owner said he had Gaz gold's on it at the time so I guess he must have swapped them out. My current S-limited has the same setup as the video. It handles great but a little crashy over rough surfaces. Look forward to the full review of the car.👍
It's essentially the same for an NB, just the anti roll bar drops links are different, I would advise getting replacements so you can cut them off if you need to.
Good video. I like the S limited, maybe it’s the red interior and the wheels? It will be interesting to see how bumpy the ride becomes with the new springs. Roy is getting good at the video presenting. Watch out, Chris!
@Lights Up Lights Down How risky is it buying an NA or NB privately? I guess you can give the sills a tap and turn the wheel to look at the chassis rails, but is it a risk too far buying without seeing it on a ramp?

Yes the previous owner did have Gaz Classics on it for a while, we will soon see what the eibach springs are like when we tax the car next month
Just ordered some Tein Z Flex street coil overs for my 2006 NC and can't wait to lower my car.
cool! looks really good and another job we can DIY! would be awesome to see a NB version on this

Great vid guys! Car sits nicely. This has to be one of the best spec versions that came out 👍🏽👍🏽
We love the S-Limited too!!
Have you refurbished wheels? Look great
Yes they were refurbished a few years ago and we agree, they look fantastic :)

We can't wait to readiest this and the RS soon :)
What size spring are they

Just do your research and check the sills, rear arches and in the case of an NB the front chassis rails very carefully
Is the Gaz coilovers really hard ? Would it ruin it even with the soft springs?
Hi Dave, no GAZ coilovers give a very nice ride
What bumpstops are you guys upgrading to? Looking for cheap alternatives... Iv seen golf bumpstops which migh suit?
We are just using standard bumps tops on this car
Vw Golf MK4 bumpstops are pretty good, you can cut them to the right height. The original mx5 ones are a bit too harsh
🙌🏽🙌🏽
back to stock now..lowing springs suck imo...
why is that?
