Hi! I'm a newbie to this forum. I'm close to finishing up a scratch-built Lotus Super 7 that I started last 11 months ago. I am running a '93 Miata 1.6 motor, transmission, rear end, front spindles, ECU & wiring harness. As soon as I wire up my headlights, tail lights, brake lights/brake light switch and turn signals, it will be ready to take to the DMV for title/registration/plates.

I have been lucky to have the help of Estaban (at Redline Autosports) with many Miata motor/tranny parts including a wiring harness. I've installed a custom front suspension using Suzuki GSXR1000 adjustable shocks on the front and using the Miata rear suspension with new Bilstein shocks and Eibach coils. But I've relocated the top perchs of the rear shocks and that has created a problem - the diameter of the Eibach springs are too wide (4-4.5") and they're rubbing the lower control arms. Plus I need to raise the height so when my heavy friends ride with me, the tires won't rub on the fenders! I'd love to search the forums to see if I can find a pair of adjustable coilovers for the rear of my car...once I have obtained the appropriate privileges!
