Topic: making "coilovers"..
so I got some used Konis for my miata and then the springs etc- I then realized I had to make it a coilover setup because appropriate springs aren't available in the 4" size yada yada yada... anyway, I got some cheapass coilover sleeves that rest on the spring mounts on the way but a question to the hive about mounting them. The konis I have have a circlip and come with spring mounts that slide on but are the 4" spring size. These mounts curl up on the sides but will stick way out past the 2.5" springs- should I leave them the way they are or cut them down to 2.5" diameter-ish. Should I just mount the spring mounts the normal way or even upside down?
Good answers appreciated, bad answers also appreciated, verbal abuse for having a miata is annoying- mine was actually $500 when bought (200k mi rustbucket from Maine!)
Thanks
