  1. My model of MX-5 is: ND2 1.5 RF
  2. I’m based near: Hampshire
  3. I’m looking for technical help or recommendations on: Koni shocks + Eibach springs

Hi all,

I’ve got a set of Koni Yellow Sport shocks and Eibach Pro Sport springs.
The instructions advise to remain on the first spring perch if using non-OEM springs.
I’ve read elsewhere that its fine to drop down to the second perch on the Eibach springs, and even preferable.

Being both a 1.5 and RF, I’m also wondering if the front will sit noticeably higher than the rear? - given the 1.5 is lighter in the front than the 2.0, and the RF is heavier in the rear than the ST. The spring rates are the same for all model variants.

Please can someone advise whether I’m fine to continue on the second spring perch, and whether or not there will be noticeable negative rake? Thank you :slightly_smiling_face:
