My Miata is dropped and curbs are a big problem.  Can't hit them straight on...have to angle myself in gently to prevent scraping.  Good stuff GD, it's nice to hear the car isn't dune buggying anymore.

I try to avoid driving over the curbs.  I generally choose the sloped entry-ways to parking lots and driveways myself.  ;)

Jeff, drive up on some boards or something before jacking so you can use your regular jack.

Haven't updated the thread in a while... thought maybe I'd post a couple of pics from a few weeks back when I had my first proper top-down drive of the season...  The car wasn't the cleanest (after driving through a construction zone), but what the heck.

Looks good, hard to tell the wheel gap because of the darkness of the car but it certainly looks better than stock!

I kept trying, but I'm not quick enough to take the shot and then run in front of the camera before the shutter goes.   ;)

The car is about an inch to an inch and a half lower with the MS springs.  Just enough to make it look like it should have from the factory.

Guess you should have paid the extra $2 for the camera with a timer?  :run:

Got that... but then the angle would have been Laurence-Yap-level by setting it on the road.  :)
