DC/MD/VA - Original Flyin' Miata 90-97 springs
 
These are the original (lower) FM springs. Still in decent condition, no squeaks or sagging. These put my porky 97M around 12" front, 12.5" rear. $150 shipped to the lower 48.

Don't tell me I have another flake. What is this, craigslist?

gospeed81 09-16-2009 08:43 AM

So these aren't the newer 318/233 rates?

I'm still looking around to see what the original rates were...

Braineack 09-16-2009 09:05 AM

342/228 and they lowered you a touch more.

DazedandConfused 09-16-2009 12:00 PM

you have PM, hope you can PM now......whats the mileage on them btw?

beatle 09-16-2009 12:33 PM

Honestly not sure of the mileage as I'm not the original owner. I put roughly 35k on them. I can PM now!

DazedandConfused 09-16-2009 09:53 PM

wow, a bit higher mileage than i wanted. but the girlfriend is willing to pay what i put in the PM as a gift for me. haha. if ur okay with it, just PM me back with an answer.

im usually on between 8am - 1pm while im bored in school.

gospeed81 09-17-2009 07:36 AM

Trust me...the mileage on these doesn't matter.

It's a matter of fatigue stress design in springs.

http://www.theriac.org/DeskReference...ty/table27.jpg

In the above the y-axis is the stress in the metal coil of the spring, and the x-axis is the number of cycles to failure. You'll notice the curves for the material (ferrous one on top interests us here) approach a lower limit as expeted stress decreases.

A well designed spring will never see stresses near this limit, and therefore never have appreciable fatigue that would require fatigue life calculations. Airplane trusses have a fatigue life...automobile springs don't.

Still available, folks.
