99Miata springs

[frankenfester]

Will they work? This is what sparked my interest. I've been looking at a couple different forums and most of them are saying 99 mistake springs will fit our festys gr2s perfect.
Has anyone tries them? Does anyone have them on their festy?

In thus video they look nearly identical to the stock festy springs.

The 99-00 miatas rear springs are too wide for our body mounts, they won't fit up in there! It's only about a quarter inch too wide. Front springs will work on the front! I know a guy on the aspire site stuck some 90-98 springs under his aspire and didn't report any issues, other than a stiffer ride!

Well that helps. So maybe 99-00 for the front and 90-98 for the rear?
I'm really Just looking to stiffen the rear because I'm tired of sagging when I'm hauling stuff

All four springs for 90-98 should work, so just order a set for the 90-98 unless you only want the rears! I'm .pretty sure the miatas springs are shorter, so you'll be lowering the car a lot! I welded a couple top hats together to.make a spacer, which made my rear struts a homebrew coilover setup with stock parts.

Do you know what the drop would be?
As far as springs for the miata are they stiffer than stock?

Almost any other car struts that fit onto a Festy will be stiffer! Ha, our cars are light, and have weak springs from the get go, imo.
Aspire struts fit really well and are way stiffer than Festys. They will raise the car about 1 1/2 inches.
I have Aspires and the ride is quite nice, absorbs bumps well. Got 'em off a 97 Aspire with springs at JY for $15 each, hehehe!

If I got aspire struts on miata springs would that negate the height increase?
