- Hey guys the video we have all been waiting for! The Miata finally gets some coilovers, I installed some Tein Street Advance Series with dampening adjustability. Hope you guys enjoy!

I'm glad you showed how to build the coilover. Maybe it's shown in instructions or something but it'll help for me if I do go for these coilovers (which is likely)
Thanks for the video, just got the same coilovers and same car!
Nice bro, looks awesome!
Tehyamz Thanks brotha! Can't wait to actually test them out
Looks great! But I definitely would have went with some flyin’ Miata sway bars and end links before even installing the coil overs. All in all a damn clean Miata though! Keep the videos coming G!
Colten Chambers Thanks brotha! Definitely next thing to come fur sure, I just couldn’t handle the gap lol
I've recently put some street basis z's on to my mk2.5. As it's my daily, and I was just replacing a snapped rear coil, I went with the slightly cheaper option for just lowering the car. I don't really do track days either. Goddamn they are way comfier than I was expecting. Great build quality all round.
You think your mx5 is rusty... 😂 Try working on a British one that's lived outdoors and on farms its whole life
Nice video. But you forgot to mention in the end of the video that a wheel alignment is a good thing to do after switching to coilovers. 👍
RadioactiveSaddam that is true lol thanks brotha!
Those are the Street Advance Z, right? Can you also adjust a lot more than the supposed 16 clicks on yours as well? I can turn my adjusting knob about 30 times from one end to another instead of supposed 16 clicks.
Good video Project Miata. The video and audio quality are pretty top notch. Congats for taking the top hat off the correct way and for sure congrats for the coilover purchase. Keep up the great work. Could I get you to check out some of my videos and let me know what I can do to improve my content? Can't wait to hear what you think.
Corey Brigner Hey man thank you so much that really means a lot! Yea there was a lot more tension removing those top hats than I thought so glad I did that too lol watching them now
Hey man! A cheap upgrade I suggest is doing the exhitake swap! You should make a video of it if you do!
Now that you have had these coilovers for a while how would you say that they ride for everyday use
Hillbilly Sportsman They are currently dialed in right at setting 6 out of 10 which I found to be a good daily setting that provides a good amount of stiffness without sacrificing too much comfort. But you can go softer and the ride will be better, but compared to the stock suspension huge difference 👍🏻
Nice vid man! Still don't understand how you broke the stud off the top hat?
So sick bro
Tajuato Thanks bro!
cool Vid man.... You have some bad looking wheels.... Make or brand???? Love them. Please let me know. I now have some great coil overs on my '96. Thanks!!
Hey, very good video first of all. Please let me know if you got the spacers and washer(with the package of Tein basis z) you put on the shocks before installing them in to the car. I did not receive then in the package.
Naveen G Thank you! Well actually I bought the Tein Advance Series not the basis the different between yours and mine is your coilover is not damping adjustable if I remember correctly. DM pictures me on my Instagram page @project.miata of what you got hopefully I can help you bro
Still have em on? If so how have they held up?
Great video!! Did you experience any rubbing after installing the coil-over? Also did you have to remove the plastic liner from the front wheel well? Thanks!!
Kevin Zhang Thank you!! I did rub a little under load having the wheel turns to either side, let’s say example going up a driveway. But not that bad I noticed more running when the suspension settled and decided to lower it more. I didn’t have to remove the wheel wheel liners ;) But I did end up rolling my fenders and I don’t rub at all anymore! Check out that video I posted.
Im installing these on mine right now and had a question. When screwing on the very top nut did it leave a lot of thread once tightened? Mine seems to have excessive thread at the top but i have everything installed in the right order so idk. Thanks!
I think there's supposed to be 2 nuts on the top and the bottom of the 2nd nut should be 31mm +/- 1 mm from the top of the threads. The 1st nut should be torqued down to 25 ft/lb I believe.
Where do you do your installs? Do you have a garage, or rent some type of space? Interested for future. (I do live in DTLA)
Brandon McKenzie-Nozari I did all of these installs in a garage, the apartment complex I used to live at had garages you could rent a month. I’m sure you could do it in DTLA if where you live has garage spaces for rent 👍🏻
Great video, what type of rims and specs are those, and where do you get federal tires at
Larry Heilman Thanks Bro, they are jnc 007 wheels 16x9 +20 and the tires I got them on eBay cheaper that way
Did you put the short ones in the back??
Short ones in the back, long ones in the front. Just like the oem suspension
Nice video 👍🏼
Lo Romatic Thank you!
Did you use a foot lbs wrench and loctite? Alot of do it yourselfers do not and that a deadly mistake. last thing you need is a blot working its way off and then you are fucked.
I did actually blue loctite because I don’t want a permanent seal and always torque down to specs ALWAYS. I did know someone who lost a tire because he forgot to tighten the upper control arm
hey men, what kind of wheel are thisone ? nice choise for the coilover :)
dubble d thanks brotha! Yea good all round coilover for the price lol the wheels are JNC 16x8 +20 offset

Bryan Hernandez Yea lol
That’s cool man me too
