Hell to the yeah! :idea: I think we can drum up support for a new class called "DIFFERENT SIZE AND TREADWEAR TIRES ON ALL CORNERS...MODIFIED". (AKA: DSATTOAC...M) To qualify, you must have at least one mud tire, one donut tire, and one drag slick. :pirate:

Yea great if they effen fit and don"t cause problems. Once again I got talked into buying something I can not use. I thought I could try but they do not work for what I have. I think an honest trade back is in order. As I said I would like to try them first,they are a no go. man up Bud.

Post a picture of your setup so I have an idea what's going on here. If you have Ground Control sleeves or something similar (fat cat motorsports, etc), you don't need the adapters I gave you as they're already made for 2.5 springs. If you have Koni sleeves, they use 2.25 springs so you will need to slip the little nylon adaptor piece first and place the spring on it. If you're using ebay sleeves, I'm not sure if they're 2.5 or 2.25 but I think the adaptors could be make to work if they're the latter (people file down the insides to make them work for other stuff). I don't get what's not working. These things are pretty universal.

Pilson, if Bob ends up not being able to use these springs, are you still willing to buy them? If so, he could just pass them onto you.

Sounds like you need to do better research if you can't figure out how to buy suspension parts for a freakin' Miata. A spring is a spring. No one is going to sell you "bad" springs intentionally. You should just resell them.

If Bob doesn't want them, my original offer still stands, assuming they are in good condition.

I've been working seven days a week,I do not have a lot of research time. I thought I would fit one and see.I do not have a lot of car time as a result of working. Trust me if I had time I would have known. Mark thanks,when do you want them? Sorry Charlie but they just will not give me the drop cause the collar is bottomed out.Note to me and all take stuff apart before thinking.Oh yea still wanting six inch by two and a quarter 650lb.
