Mine sat for 3 weeks until i mustered up the motivation. Drop was 1.3” in front and rear. Looks the way it should have come from factory imo

I showed the pictures to my wife and she thought it looked great and said go ahead and lower it so it looks like I'll do it some time next year. I still need to install the Koni's, Flyin' Miata springs, and sway bars on my 2020 MX-5 though as they have been sitting on a shelf all year.

My set of H & R's has been sitting in my garage for several months...one of these days.
Your car looks fantastic before and after. What size are your wheels?
Personally I got the CX30 so I have extra ground clearance as my last car would scratch the front bumper all the time. Now I got some piece of mind when I'm in tricky spaces. But I do think lowering looks good.

I agree that it looks MUCH better without those absurd gaps between tires and fenders. Even the plastic cladding looks less clownish without the big gaps!
I'd be tempted to do the same, except that the 8 inches of ground clearance was the most important factor for us in deciding between the 3 and the CX30 since we tend to go off pavement from time to time.
Now if only there were a dash button that would raise and lower it on demand!
take a look at the photo I just posted here

I love the height and the pictures says it all😏

It is amazing how time changes every thing, I was 21, just got married the dealer gave me fantastic financing on our very first two door black Ford Anglia if you did not have a black cr you were thought to be unusual.
it was only 10 hp ut a hot car at the time
It was not long untill i filled in the wheel arches so only 50 % of the wheel was showing, now i am 85 my CX30 looks like it is ready for Beverly Hills.
by the way we all dropped the rear end with bigger/ longer "U" boat and blocks of iron.

and I love the colour .
You ordered the H&R Springs or an OEM set from the European market? Just curious - like you I want the height of the latter set. I think the H&R are an inch or so lower than the Euro OEM stuff.I bit the bullet and ordered a set of springs for my CX. Can't wait to drop it to a European/Japanese specs
Yeah, but I think the 1.3" drop on the H&R website is a drop from the stock Euro height, not the NA height. Every photo of the H&R springs I've seen looks quite noticeably lower than the stock Euro heights.
Hmm.... Good point. I didn't think about that. I looked at the specs on the H&R's North American site and that's where they list the drop specs. I also just emailed them with this question. Will update if/when they reply.
Keep us posted - I'm very curious about this myself. I thought about trying to order some OEM euro springs but I think it would be pretty expensive.
