On September 5, 2023, unless requested otherwise, coilovers will come with silver off-road Eibach Springs because according to Eibach, "ERO springs are designed to safely go to block, again and again, without losing rate or free length."
Interested in lifting your Mx5 Miata? Currently, there are only two kits on the market: the Paco Motorsports 3" lift kit and the Rallycross kit. Here's the scenario: If you're not looking to spend $2000 on the rallycross kit, you opt for the 3" lift kit. However, you'll soon realize that pairing this lift kit with your OEM shocks can lead to issues. They might be old and blown out, or your existing coilovers might be too stiff. You might find that the height adjustment is maxed out, yet the car is still too low, leading to minimal suspension travel and frequent bottoming out. This situation leaves you wondering: where can you find a good setup that won't break the bank?

Demonstrating 6" shock travel (Bumpstop removed)
This is exactly why this kit was created, from my very own experiments and results off-roading with MIEEP. For those who already had some fun with their lift kit but want to take a step up and upgrade! Or those just want to pay once and get good results!
2025: I've seen multiple people running the 4-runner shocks and Eibach springs setup and here are my speculations:
- Yes it's more affordable but you still need a Paco kit to pair them with if you don't already have them. If you do a subframe drop, you loose lift once again.
- You don't get to adjust ride height. Your ride height depends solely on the spring rate. Too low of a spring rate the car is going to sit too low with little shock travel. Too high of a spring rate the car is going to have good ride height but stiff ride, with is not what you want for off-roading.
- The shocks are made for a much heavier vehicle, I would assume the valving of the shocks wouldn't feel good for a lightweight Miata.
- You need to reuse NB top hats, 3d print adaptors for the spring to sit on the shocks, sounds like a hassle.
What do I know...?
Notes:
- I recommend 10" springs 350lb front and 250lb rear with 1" preload. That being said I now have 12" on my Miata. But that requires a lot of trimming to clear stock front upper arms.
- This kit was designed with rear subframe drop in mind in order to correct extreme CV axles angle. Because of that the rear shocks are fairly long (A big advantage if you ask me, I've read that Rallycross users lose ride height after subframe drop). READ BLOG
- If you ever want to perform a front subframe drop as well, the front shocks should still be long enough to compensate.
- Stock CV axle boots clear shock body at full droop. I cannot guarantee aftermarket CV axles clearance (yet).
- I have 2057515 General Grabber AT Tires (28") & 15x8 0 offset MST Time Attack wheels. With the coilovers I have about 10" from the ground to pinch welds. (I also have a tent on top, that's more weight.)
- Front extended lower ball joints, extended rear endlinks and adjustable rear upper control arms are highly recommended.
- The blue springs in the picture are 12" King springs. They claim to be 2.5" ID but are actually slightly larger, probably metric vs imperial issue...
- On NB Miatas, the studs on the unibody for the rear subframe to bolt onto is longer than NAs, when installing the subframe drop kit, you will have to shave/shorten the studs a bit. That way the studs won't interfere with the included hardware. Also if you're upgrading from stock shocks. Be aware that the sway bar endlinks might rub against the coilovers. Flip the endlinks so the stud goes through from the inside of the bar. (See this reddit post, common coilover problem)
