I've gone for the rear springs at 250lb and the front 375.

Will give it a go and maybe swap them around see what the difference is.

Hopefully I will get to test it on an airfield before the road and iva anyway as a shakedown

Build cost.... seems to be spending more on tools than car bits at the moment! (they will be handy in the future though).
Car iva'd and passed 15/08/2014. Finished weight 572kg.

I bought a Haynes Manual for the wiring diagrams on Friday only to find the diagrams didn't really match my car too well.

A bit of hunting turned up this page with LOADS of MX5 service manuals.

http://www.mellens.net/mazda/

Really useful to an MX5 builder.

Cheers
