Have you considered the 245/40/17's How about the R-S3's?

Agreed.

This will be $69 after rebate at Pep Boys on Black Friday.

I'm a Frito Lay!!!

My comment about flipping the mounts is based on not replacing the current bolts. I don't doubt that you could replace the bolts.

Nice diagrams. I understand now. You're correct, you can't invert the mount or the four little bolts will eventually fail. Doh!!! I see that George had a much better understanding of the issues with the top mounts from the start. Kudos to George and others. You're options are: 1 - shorten the shocks...

The spring holds the weight of the car at each corner. The bolts will only see any significant weight if the shock bottoms out before the spring does. I'm not saying that the mounts are upside down, they just look like it because aftermarket Miata mounts tend to have a recessed design to gain compre...

Isn't that top mount upside down? BTW, the weight of the car will not be on the four little bolts.

Those shocks are seriously too long. I'm sure the shock re-builder will not forget that you also need the piston shortened by an equal amount when they shorten the body. Get some measurements of the Koni Sport and Race shocks to get a range of how much shorter your shocks should be.

or the carefully hammer on reversed castle nut or you're screwed method. . Don't hammer on the reversed castle nut....... you hammer on the casting where the ball joint goes through. The tapered ball joint will drop out after a couple good wacks. You can also use an air chisel with a mushroom tip i...

Replacing the knuckle/spindle is also straightforward. It's held on by three nuts/bolts. One of the possible sticky points is separating the ball joint from the upper knuckle. Use either a ball joint separator that you can borrow from Kragen for the safe method or the carefully hammer on reversed ca...
