Yes, pedestrian safety regulations enforce auto manufactures to have a certain height for all cars when being built, so sadly the Miata has to be that high in stock form.
Wow... dropped 4" and it's just starting to look about right. Not even really "low"mmhmm exactly. this has been lowered more than 4 inches on ohlins coilovers
i'm pretty sure when you buy coilovers, the whole assembly is several inches shorter. honestly, the springs are over a foot long stock, you have to creep a spring compressor up, you need 3 of them, and you have to disassemble it twice. it is absolutely absurd
A) the mx5 is a sports car. being that it is still VERY small (1.5 inches longer, 1.5 inches wider, and shorter) than an na/nb, the car has to be high. what you may not realize is that most of those other sports cars are MUCH larger. for example, i was next to an 350z yesterday, and his window line was somewhere near my ear. the cars are still tinyThat sounds dumb. How do sports cars & super cars get away with not following those safety codes?
They weren't designed for old ladies (Evil)

B) the mx5 is a real sports car. ass.
they sit higher than you think... a buddy told me i can make it into his parking garage if i set higher than a vette cause theres one in his parking garage, well long story short my frame rails are really mangled up now so the vettes sit higher than you think
have the same issue at a local car wash, was told only car they havent been able to wash is a local's vette, and well... you can now add mine to that list... lol
and im "not that low" either
I was thinking a little more high end. Not 370z or MX-5, more like z06/zr1, GT-R, etc... ass
You and your little go carts. (lol2)
