I have a set. I love em! When paired with the rest of my suspension mods, it handles like a miata on steroids. Perfectly level around the twisties, and not a squeal from the tires! They also give a perfect ride height (wouldn't go any lower)
I'd recommend using stock height tires. Roll the fenders too.

I should’ve prefaced with I have an 03 GT. Thanks for the feedback. Do you think the original isolators will be useful or should I replace them

How does it work to drop the ride height and not hit curbs and things with your car. I have a 17 GT that I would swap the springs and lower it but a one inch drop would put it into curbs and such.

Not sure on a 17. I think the stance on those are perfect . Almost no wheel gap. My 03 has enough wheel gap, I can put my drink on the tire while I work on it.

Nice, I saw this too late because I just put them on mine about 2 weeks ago them went for a twisty drive. I live in Oregon so we have plenty of roads for that. I reused the original iso’s and it works just fine. Also I would replace the shocks/struts because stock ones aren’t built to handle the extra stress. I have a full set of koni orange and love the match up
