I'm wanting to "fix" the suspension on my car. The Koni sports seem to be popular, but I don't really see myself adjusting them once they are set. The Bilstein sports seem like a pretty good replacement. I'm wondering how something like this would go with some Progress springs. I like the idea of the FM springs, but I'm not a fan of the reversed rake look. Any and all suggestions are welcomed. Keep in mind that this is mostly a spirited daily driver. I'm typing on my phone, so hopefully this makes some sense.

"Reversed rake look"?

Searching around miata.net points to the front end being higher with FM springs on the 09+. I'm not wanting to cut dead coils off the front springs. If this is incorrect, please let me know. I just know that it would drive me nuts; it'd be like when you first notice a knick in your windshield and can't stop noticing it.

The car is level. The measurements at the front and rear wheels come out a bit higher at the front because that's how the fenders are shaped.

We did a 13 Club here just a few weeks ago. Nice and level. People on miata.net like to panic each other without bothering with actually checking facts.

That's why I asked here. I'm glad you took the time to respond. I was really wanting the stage 2 package anyway.
