Instead of being a douche, do some research. He was being nice to you. The kind folks on this forum will not hold your hand as you take baby steps. Do that **** on your own, then come back when you have questions to ask that will better the community. I understand you are new to these cars and have lots of questions. If you really don't want to search, then just spam every little thought over at m.net, they seem to like it.

NB perches are angled for open ended coils...whereas our NAs use flat, closed coil perches. To use them on an NB you need to find or make a flat spring perch.
You are definitely right on the ride height issue...they will be lower than an NA with same springs, further exacerbating the low spring rate issue.

Actually they won't.

its a simple question a few guys anwsered for me already. there is no need for him to tell me to search or do anything besides either post and be productive or not post...
-that will be a problem if the car will sit lower than a na would with the same springs, the car is so low already i would be scraping everything. would have been nice, he would let me have them for 100.

If you want genteel treatment, go the **** on over to Miata.net.
You'll be treated with kid gloves, and you won't get raped for being a dunce.
'Cause, if you had bothered to search either here or on Miata.net, you'd see plain as day numerous mention of Tokico Blues being referred to as "craptastic".
