WTB: 450/300 or 450/250 2.5" springs.
I'm looking for 450/300 or 450/250 2.5" diameter springs. miata friendly lengths please.
anything between 450-500 is cool as well. I'm currently on 550/350, and I'm lookin for something softer.

okay then you should be good, that's what Shaikh said they'd work on. I tried them on Konis with ebay sleeves, I could probably get them down to 13" or so at the lowest due to the perches, but I want a tad lower with room to adjust. I just ordered some new shorter springs and will hopefully swap them out this weekend.
They are brand new and might have 100 miles on them once I pull them, I just put them on Saturday. They $38 new each from summit, so how about $40 shipped for the two?

I'll let you guys know. I just put them in this weekend and I'm struggling trying to get them low enough, after my drive home today they are right around 13.5" F/R. I still have a little room to adjust down so if I can get my ride height then i'll want to hold onto to them. I did just buy some 6" ebay 450/350 springs to replace them. But I want to give the QA1s one more shot.

I'm going to attempt to get the height I want in the front today. I think I'm going to be able to by and in that case I won't have any qa1 springs available. Plus is turns out the ebay springs I ordered aren't the rates everyone says they are, the seller finally wrote my back this morning saying they were 218/123. So I think I'm going to try to get them to cancel to order if they are willing.
If I find out I can get my ride height, then I apologize in advance for prematurely saying they were available. I started at 14" F/R on the weekend when i first put them on and didn't see a way to get them lower, but I still have some tricks up my sleeve.

Okay, looks like I gotta the ride height I was looking for after all so I'm keeping the QA1s. When/if the ebay springs arrive I'll let know what the rates are.
Sorry for getting everyone's hopes up.
