Posted March 22, 201213 yr comment_385078 And since then have gone from this: To this! Removed diving board front bumper and frame supports, removed cheap tacky aftermarket foglights, changed the oil, and gave her a bath just in time for it to start raining! Next week I'm gonna see about bringing her down from 4x4 status. Apparently there are lift blocks on the springs. Why, I have no idea, but there's definitely something wonky going on under there. I have new shocks and springs on standby in case the reason the blocks are on there is because the factory suspension is shot.

March 23, 201213 yr comment_385091 Those wheels look to have a pretty good offset. The blocks in the springs may be to keep the body from rubbing on the tires. You will find out as soon you pull them out. Also, check the diameter of the tires - stock is right at 25". If these are much bigger, that could also contribute to body rub. Here is a link to a tire size calculator, plug in your tire specs to check the size. Have fun!!!Jimhttp://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/42718-i-have-owned-my-z-for-44-hours/#findComment-385091 Share on other sites More sharing options...
