V-Maxx 35 MA 05 is a progressive-rate sport lowering spring kit designed as an aftermarket suspension upgrade for the Mazda MX-5 NA and NB generations. The kit is designed to provide an approximately 45mm reduction in ride height, creating a lower, more controlled suspension setup while retaining the vehicle's existing dampers.
V-Maxx manufactures its sport springs from high-tensile chrome silicon steel. The springs are shot-peened, zinc-phosphated and powder-coated to provide corrosion protection and durability.

Fitment advice: Published lowering figures are approximate. Actual achievable ride height can vary according to vehicle specification, factory ride height, existing sports suspension and the condition of the suspension components. Adequate tyre, wheel and body clearance must be maintained throughout the full suspension travel. V-Maxx advises that wheel spacers may be necessary with some wheel and tyre combinations.
Installation: The vehicle must be safely raised and supported before suspension work is carried out. Suspension fasteners should be tightened using the correct procedures and torque specifications, and suspension bushes should be tightened at normal ride height where required. A full wheel alignment / geometry check should be carried out after installation.
Other items to consider: Inspect the existing dampers, bump stops, dust covers, top mounts, spring seats and suspension fixings while the suspension is dismantled. Worn components should be replaced as necessary before fitting the new springs.
Useful tools / consumables: Suitable vehicle lifting equipment and axle stands, spring compressors where required, torque wrench, general suspension hand tools and suitable penetrating lubricant.
Difficulty guide: Moderate to Advanced. Installation requires safe vehicle lifting, suspension disassembly, correct spring installation and torque procedures, followed by wheel alignment. Professional installation may be advisable where suitable equipment or suspension experience is not available.

Service notes: Check the condition of the existing dampers and associated suspension components before installation. After fitting, check tyre, wheel and body clearance throughout the suspension travel and carry out a full wheel-alignment / geometry check. Headlight aim should also be checked following a significant change in vehicle ride height.
