A few notes on the coils for anyone with a miata wondering, especially fazda.

They are cheap, so they need a litle work.

Rears when all the way down (or low for that matter), the lower collar will rub the axle, which is not good.
...Solution I found to this is to remove the helper springs in the rear and raise the collar up and set height without the helper in place, this way you won't rub.

Also there is a fitment issue on all 4 corners.
...The lower mount on the shocks is too wide for the control arms so you have to dremel off about a mm on each side to get them to slide in, otherwise, no dice.

Fronts have a bracket for a brake line on them...unfortunately they are both on the same side (both made for the left side of the car)
...Solution: flip one around...you won't see the raceland logo when you have the wheel off, but the bracket will line up fine

A few issues but for being under 300 bucks, who can complain?
