Hello everyone,
Can anyone recommend how I can raise my Miata? The roads and highways where I live are awful with large dips and unless I slow down on the frwy to 25 mph it keeps hitting the front spoiler. I have already replaced the radiator once and I don't want to keep having this issue. Everything on my 1992 Miata MX-5 is original. No modifications.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Please provide a little information about your car. What suspension or other mods does it have?

Everything on my Miata is all original. No mods at all.

Ah, well. I'd probably start with making sure none of the shocks are blown and none of the springs are damaged.

Sounds strange. A stock NA Miata sits pretty high.

Springs definitely sag with age and shocks stop extending with as much force.

Thank you. I checked the shocks and struts and they are good. I was thinking I might need a lift kit. If it wasn't for the crappy infrastructure roads and highways it would be fine. I would like to be able to drive 65/70 miles per hour on the freeway without having to slow way down for every dip in the road.

Please post a couple of pictures of your car as it sits now. I'm very curious.

1: The stock shocks and springs are 32 year old
2: You're bottoming out while driving down the freeway
3: They're perfectly fine


2 out of three of those are true, don't care how bad your roads are.
