Any recomendations...I think I am finally going to try and drop the car...
I came to the realization that I can let my dad drive my car while I use his for delivering pizza...
I have had my car dropped for two years now and all I did was the springs I havent had any strut problems as of yet .
+1 to tokicos
and i went with HP's.....its ok tho no regrets, i just want newer springs. possibly the Tanabe DF210s or S-Techs not sure yet but im leaning towards Tanabe
Yes my friend has done that with his car for over 3 years now and its still fine. about to hit 70K

I went with used Progress springs and stock struts, no problems so far, but I recommend doing both at least for the ease of installation... I did mine by myself and it was a pain, but if you have help, more power to ya bro.

Thanks for the help guys...and as for installing...I just get one of my wrestlers I coach that is in the auto class in school to help me with everything...I get to use the lifts and all at the school...works out good...
yea thats true. i feel alot less roll from sharp fast turns.
haha, i wana go full ebc set up i heard they are good.
right now im running the posi quiet ceramics and they are great so far...only one problem.
they are smaller than oem pads, so they are only rubbing in the middle. i have about half inch the inside of rotor and outside of rotor that the pad is not touching......kinda dissapointed.

Hawk HP+ are a terrible street pad. They dust like crazy, they aren't good cold (takes a while for them to get some heat and bite) and they chew up rotors.
The EBC is also a great street pad. Though my favorite combination I had on the car were a set of Axxis Deluxes up front / PosiQuiet's rear. The Deluxes were a decent pad, didn't make any noise and didn't dust much. I've got Axxis Ultimates on the miata, and if you want a more aggressive pad go with that. Excellent bite, great feedback, but they dust a bit more than the Deluxes. You can get them from Pro-Parts-USA (aka TriPoint Motorsports).
