hah, brilliant.
A friend of a friend had an old Subaru Loyale with a WRX swap ... but the idiot would heat up his stock springs manually, stretching them out for extra clearance .. rather than buying legit suspension.

at least its better than in my hometown of tijuana where all the ricers burn or cut the springs to lower the cars, haha you see those hondas jumping all over the place when they go over 30mph,haha

That's COMPLETELY unsafe.
He should have left the spring compressors on. It cost's $20 more, but much much safer! :tup:

some people:ha: :stupid: (not you reiser..the miata guy)
even cheaper if you know someone with a torch, you can just heat the springs and compact the first coil. . . . . .

Miata Safety God
The theory is simple and therefore seems logical...but no. Purely on a performance mindset this is doing you more harm then good because your spring rates are all over the place, so you handling may in fact be worse. But on a far more important matter, this is DANGEROUS. Ok so they didn't explode in your face when you put them on, consider yourself lucky, but these cheap HOSE CLAMPS may very well break while going down the road causing catastopic results. If just one goes you will suddenly loose instaneous weight ballance and could cause you to lose control and hurt yourself and others.
I'd highly suggest taking these off, you are just asking for trouble.
