Alex I learn more in under 15 minutes about something that scared a lifetime me from attempting a job like this. You made it look so freaking simple and SAFE!!! Let me ask you a question, So this suspension can be adjusted at the track per wheel if needed with just a jack , few hand tools and/or pit crew?? Great Vid man!! The car is looking so KooL!
I’m a bit torn on the whole separate preload and height adjustment. Keith at Flyin Miata has explained that this type of coilover on Miatas have extremely short suspension damper travel. With a full length shock where the spring perch directly adjusts ride height, the full range of damper travel is retained.
If you drop the spring perch down that much the spring will move at droop. Once you put the car on the ground it will compress and won’t be loose like that.
How to decide which brand to buy? I'm looking for coilovers for my NB, and I was pretty sure I was going to get Tein Flex Z but then I saw BC Racing ones and Auto Fortunes and now I see another ones in your video, how the heck can I decide which is the way to go? I need something for street use (and veeeery ocassional amateur track attempts), that is adjustable so it can be stock ride height. Budget is not my concern, I need something to fill my needs with decent quality, I don't want to overpay of course but if it's worth to pay more I will.
Can’t go wrong with any of the ones you listed imo. Tein Flex Z would be a great choice for street/occasional track. Fortune Auto is also very nice if it’s in your budget. I’ve enjoyed my Megan’s on the street and wouldn’t hesitate to track them.
Reiterating Alex here, I've tracked my Civic on Tein Flex Z's a couple times along with multiple autocross events and they've been great. I'm sure Megans would perform similarly. There is definitely better stuff out there, but they get the job done as a multi-purpose coilover.
Hello ! Very great vid ! I have the maxshittingrods coilover and the rear is not slammed enough for me, so I can screw down the spring for lower it lire like you did ? Thank bro
@@thesilentvega8381 I had Truhart StreetPlus given to me. I’m going to buy MeisterR ZetaCRD’s when I have the money because the Truharts ride very stiff
By any chance are your fenders rolled and how did you do it ? I'm thinking of lowering mine too but I don't know if its worth buying a fender roller for one use or just cutting slits into the inner fender and massaging it with a hammer and heat gun haha Also were you planning on removing fender liners?
Rear fenders are rolled. I’m a pretty big fan of the cut a slit, and hammer method haha, that’s what I did on this. I usually remove liners but probably won’t on this. If it was a little lower I probably would.
I bought the extreme low bc racing coilovers and the destroy or die drop knuckes with the upper and lower arms front and rear and I actually had to raise the coilovers because i couldn’t drive my Miata anywhere 😕
Dang hahaha thats awesome. If I was to do this again I would probably go with BC extreme low or some of the others that are better suited for really low setups. But we're actually just running these coils temporarily before they go on a buddies Miata.
@@AlexPerrucci Well i wasn’t even trying to go that low i just wanted to tuck a little tire but i went a little over board 😂 but it still wasn’t a bad set up have you had any issues with clunking or anything at all with those coilovers?
@@Tonyyyy_666 That was my experience with BC Extreme Low's on my ls400, the car was bottomed out, and I still had like 2-3in left in the coilover body.
Mpg is good, I get around 27 mixed highway/city. Ride is decent on good suspension. You’re going to have road noise but if you’re cool with that they’re super fun.

Thanks! Yes it can be adjusted by just jacking the car up and playing with the collars.
Miata starting to look good! Can't wait for paint.
Yessir, I'm excited!

Those coilovers certainly give your Miata an awesome stance, I hope I can get mine to look like that one day soon. 👍🏽😎
Is the spring supposed to move be able to move up and down after adjusting? Lol mine able to move about a inch
If you drop the spring perch down that much the spring will move at droop. Once you put the car on the ground it will compress and won’t be loose like that.
Ok and that’s ok to drive on ?
Hoping to buy salvage Miata soon and fix it up then get to performance and handling mods too
Sounds like a fun project! 👍🏼
The fitment looks really good, what size wheels are those? (15x8 or 9? and what's the offset? Any spacers?)
Thanks! 15x9 +35 with 25mm spacers.

yes you can.
Why do most of the miata parts cost more then the car itself?
In the video it looks like you have the EZII's but you linked the EZ's in the description???
What did you end up getting? I’m confused too

🤣 much love Alex! 😁 show the people how it’s done!
Thanks man!
Who down votes this, the old suspension?! Nyut nyut nyut. 👊🤓

@@AlexPerrucci Thanks for the reply and I'll definitely be following the build!
what size rims and offset? looks great
15x9 +10

No clunks, so far so good!
@@EricJergs Bro it’s crazy but pretty cool bcuz you get to see different things!
Planning on either buying a 350z or 92 Miata Mx-5 come summer, Miata is grabbing my eye, how does the car ride? And how is the MPG?

@@AlexPerrucci Hahha came to this video out of curiosity and forgot I commented! Got a 96 M edition, love it a lot. Plan to get coils soon.
@Alex
Any friends tried meister r zeta crd?
I was thinking about getting those or, bc racing br’s
Hot boi Miata
@lowtege is that u
What size rims and tires?
What wheels are thos i like them
Konig dial in
just slammed my car so here for the adjusting part
how did it go
What is the brand and type of the coilovers.
Megan Racing ez street. Link in description.
@@AlexPerrucci currently not available
What wheels are these ??
Konig dial in
How much were these coilovers?
$750
wait noooo way i have the same coilovers!!!!
How do they ride?
@@michaelk2334 amazing u can legit take 90mph turns so smooth and no body roll whatsoever
You’re suppose to adjust the shock body. Not the preload of the spring. That compromises your ride quality and the life expectancy of the coilover
Exactly what I was thinking
How do they ride?
Very well!
I bet those Snap-On wrenches cost more than the coilovers lol
About as much as racelands 💀 😂
WHAT THE FUCK!!! It's insane fast... i worked befor on my VW .... and it's ridiculous.
hahaha first
Nice!
