    lift kits

    My wife has a disability so I'd like to lift my 07 Miata 6". I found a 3" lift kit once but they said were now discontinued. Is there a way to do this? I realize part of the lift would include larger tires/wheels. Thanks.

    Not sure I have ever seen a 6" lift for anything other than a truck. That's even higher than the lift I have on my Expedition. Good luck with this and if you do happen to find a way to lift the Miata 6", please post on how.

    If you really want to lift an Miata 6", I doubt there is a kit. Find a local shop with some fabrication capability, they might be able to help you. But it will be costly, it will almost certainly be a custom solution. Basically you are making a Miata donk, so call around Atlanta, they will surely be able to help you out.

    There are a couple offroad Miata builds that have been lifted to this level, but they were all completely custom, lots of fabrication involved. Search the Grassroots Motorsports forums if you want to see these builds.

    Edit: This one has a three inch lift, can't find the one I'm thinking of though. Sorry.

    Flyin' Miata offers the 3" Paco kit again but I just realized your looking for NC compatibility and those are only for the NA/NB chassis. That being said, that's the largest lift kit I can recall seeing offered.
    I've got a lot less horsepower - luckily they are Japanese horses - usually in better shape and more motivated.

    lift kits

    what size tires are you planning on running? that would determine your lift size more than anything else and whether or not you plan to chop your fender flares.

    Like I said, "I realize part of the lift would include larger tires/wheels" but I don't know what it would take. I am hoping someone knows where to get a 3" lift and know the tire/wheel combo that would work. Thank you though.

    Yep, the only lift kit I've ever heard of is by Paco Motorsport but it's been said, fits NA/NB only. Best of luck to the OP!
