Did I read that right...the new one is smaller...and lighter? Don't see that everyday these days.

Well met Mazda.

Yup, 100kg less and a little smaller.  "Adding lightness."  A certain Colin would be proud...

Lol so much hate. It could be an airbag suspension system.

Although this is my buddy's Miata and that's his static driving height. It's pretty hilarious watching him try to navigate through some parking lots. But hey, it looks fantastic.

Rice.  Can see his front fenders aren't rolled enough, as the tire has fender marks on it.

If you're going to do it...do it right!  That's half assed

But why would you do that? You can't drive it anywhere without damage occuring. I had mine lowered with mazdaspeed springs for a while and it was bad enough.
It looked better though without the 4x4 look. ;)
I notice that the ND fender gap isn't bad ,will have to see it on the street.

There's a MazdaSpeed Miata locally that low, if not lower. Looks amazing but I'm not sure I'd want to daily it like its owner does.
