I forgot to take pictures before and I will take pictures of it after. Lol.

The shipping was good, safe, and overall pretty fast.

The install went fairly simple. Took about 2-4 hours, but learning how to use the spring compressor properly was the longest part =.= obviously i'm a noob and i had some struggles. Some of the people that have write-ups, you don't have to take apart everything they suggest to take apart. I just removed the bolts holding the sway bar, moved it away and didn't even touch the control arm. ANYWAY - The back struts are a pain in the ass to get to, but easy to take out and vise-versa with the front - most of you probably know this already.

The EZ Streets are as everyone says. Awesome. They are the best bang for your buck. I don't have a full review quite yet, given i've only driven -+100 miles with them on. I dropped about 2-3 inches and still have more to drop if I wanted to, which is very tempting. Anyway, here are some pictures of the packaging.

You could have made your life so much easier if you would have just ditched the spring compressor and done the san diego method...

[jef]

Hahaha I heard about that, but I never saw how it was done :p

[xjdesertfox]

You just unbolt the lower BJ, the shock, and then the knuckle separates from the lower arm. Then you can drop everything right out.

I can do one corner of the car in under 10 mins now.

0-0; that's nuts :o

Well, they are riding well so far. I've only scraped my pan once and I rub my heat shield from the catalytic convertor on everything ._____.

They are so well. I got about 8 clicks, right in the middle, feels great. I may go a little softer, but we'll see how it goes (and if i go lower.)

This is probably the shittiest quality i have ever seen.

I'll take some pictures after I wash my car in about 20 minutes.

I need shoes :( but I did do a straight trade for my redtop for the charcoal! Improves everything.

I have always loved the NA in silver.

[jef]

Thanks man! I really like the silver too. At first I wanted to get a black one, but I don't think I could do any other color.

[tsingson]

Anymore pictures?

[jef]

I'll show some more pictures once I get my wheels and tires. I should have them by the end of september. I work at a grocery store and go to school so my bank account slowly builds up, lol.

[jef]

if you go on my instagram you'll see some pictures of it too.

This thread simply reminds me that I need to buy a second miata. . . Need one for autoX and one that I can do whatever I want to. (ie: lowering and turbo.)

[Streeter]

I was lucky enough to buy my Miata with the EZ Streets already installed. I didn't get to enjoy the ride back as much due to overheating issue but on the few curves I was able to take a little more spiritedly, they performed really well. For what I paid for the car it was great. I still have alot of room to drop it, but I may be selling them to invest in some more track worthy coils.

Your car looks really good how it sits with them installed.

:bow: thanks guys

[iRoadster]

Holy crap, that thing is nice.

Buy my wheels.

[psulja]

I ordered some EZ streets as well for my NA.. Can't wait for them to come in! You aren't at their lowest setting are you?

[jef]

nope. i just bought wheels and will be uploading more pictures tomorrow. i lowered it even more and i am about 1.5 inches above the ground. sits pretty :)

and i still have about 1-2 inches in front to drop and about an inch in the back if i wanted to.

[psulja]

Good to hear. I think mine are about a week away now. Almost cancelled the order and went with Stance coils but decided against it.

[jef]

The only way I would spend more on suspension if I was putting this guy on the track, but it's kind of a lot for DDing imo

Tbh, the only reason I was second guessing them was if they wouldn't go low enough. My NA is already really slow and until I boost it it'll just be really low and slow. I rarely drive it so i'm not worried about it being practical, that is what the NB is for.

I think they will be perfect for what I need.

[jef]

yeah, i sit pretty low - my exhaust is about 1 inch from the ground and the side frames (i think) sit about 2-3 inches from the ground and have room to drop the car lower...i don't think you'll be disappointed unless you wanted your car literally on the ground, then just take out the springs and struts ;]

[psulja]

Just got shipping confirmation. They'll be at my sister's place in Ohio on Friday. :frantic:

[jef]

grats :3:

[psulja]

Got them on today.. Here's a pic for now while I decide on which wheels to get... Rears have the perches removed so the lowest they will go; front still has the perches in place about, can still remove the perches and have another 5mm to go down before needing to remove them..

[jef]

cot tam you're low

don't you love the offset on the daisies... :fp:

[psulja]

Yea... totally :/ lol... I'm not driving it until I get some wheels since it looks retarded as it is. In the rears I removed the collars and have the shock set to the shortest length, in the front I have the collars still in place with room to go lower. I will play around with the height a little more after I get wheels.

Right now my car is basically resting on my tires lol. The fender well is resting on top of the tires when it is parked so I will try to get a bit more clearance in there with a BFH.

[WASABI]

To low!!! Come on, Paul. There is a sweet spot between lowering your car, and getting unbelievable performance out of your suspension. This however, is completely insane. :shrug:

[jef]

lmao ya this is nuts... haha but raise it and rock it on daisies until you can afford wheels/tires. i did ;x

i got 15x7.5 (wish i got 8.5) with 165/45 - which stretch really sexy like, but are super low profile and don't fill the gap the way i'd like. if you can find 165/50-55 or 185/45 that's cheap - do it. but you don't get any stretch with 195/45 on 15x8's - just sayin. maybe on 8.5-9, but i'm by no means knowledgable on this =.=

[psulja]

Hahaha, I have my NB for driving hard... The NA rarely gets driven so I'm just having some fun with it like this for now.

Right now it isn't actually registered or insured so I'm in no rush; but I think sometime this month I should be able to get the wheels I want if they are ever back in stock. After that it'll be put back on the road and I'll play with the ride height a bit to see what it ends up at.

[jef]

pictures, pictures and more pictures :D

edit: when completed anyway ;p glad you love the suspension!

[psulja]

Was that a request? I'm confused lol

[jef]

more pictures when you get wheels :D

and update us with sizes of wheels and tires
