I already have installed the SPL Upper Control arm. Will that help with any of the geometry concerns of lowering that you guys have brought up?

I will defer to my Suspension Track Shop (Miata Race Shop)...but I would not look to drop any more than 30mm. Given than I am already at 27 3/8" stock....I would drop to ~ 26 1/4" worse case.

Still looking for everyone's input...as I take it to the shop on Wed morning.
