As I grew older I am indeed feeling the midlife crisis lol so yes I want my car to get the lowest street useable stance. From where I'm at and how this car is gonna be use I have decided that 4" pinch weld height using a 205/50/15 tires is my set-up. I have been driving this height with my 94 on an Eibach + Illumina + FM rear shock mount combo w/o any problem.

As I am finalizing my retirement build, I am confronted by some thoughts of what would be the best set-up for my money considering street use and balanced stance. Budget is $2000 or so.

1. Tein Street Flex ($1000)+ Swift springs ($100/pc) + RB Sways + FM Adjustable Rear Control Arm ($250)
*I already have the RB sways.
or

2. Keisler Drop Spindles w/ Shock spacers ($1500) + Bilsteins monotube + Swift (custom OEM spec springs)
*I already have the Bilsteins.

Considering what I have gathered that the OEM miata has 6" pinch weld height is correct, the Keisler's brings me to my desired height as they claim that it drops the car 2". Any one here riding on these spindles? Thanks.
