V-Maxx 35 MA 08 is a progressive-rate sport lowering spring kit designed as an aftermarket suspension upgrade for the Mazda MX-5 NB. The kit provides an approximate 35mm reduction in ride height at the front and rear, giving the vehicle a lower, more controlled suspension setup while retaining the existing dampers.
The V-Maxx sport springs are manufactured from chrome silicon steel and are shot-peened, zinc-phosphated and powder-coated to provide corrosion protection and durability.

Fitment advice: Published lowering figures are approximate. Actual ride height can vary depending on vehicle specification, factory suspension equipment and the condition of the existing suspension components. Adequate tyre, wheel and body clearance should be checked throughout the full suspension travel after installation. Wheel spacers may be required 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.

Headlight aim should also be checked following a significant change in vehicle ride height.
