anyone running ebay coilovers?

I was just about to try it. Cheapest road to corner weighting, and you can always put in your own springs. People are always selling springs, and they never* go bad. My car has 4 different heights on 4 different corners, and have always wanted to be able to adjust this (and maybe lower a little) without paying out the nose for coilovers.
The only real problem (out of the box) is the incredibly high and unbalanced spring rate. To use them you'd have to spend the money saved to buy decent adjustable shocks to match those spring rates. Add to that a stiffer front sway and tower brace to be able to manage the oversteer induced by stiffass rear rate (oversteer...something every turbo miata needs more off). As said before, if you buy real springs the cheapo collars are probably worth it.

You have to have a shock that can handle the rates, the blue ones are 450/350. I run them on my MSM with the stock Silver Bilsteins and they are great. Ran in TT,HPDE4, and HPDE2 this weekend by 3 drivers at a NASA event, my car was hored out. They have about 1500 street miles and 500 track and are still great. Varified by Hustler at NASA this weekend!
