Suspension appears to have settled a bit. Hopefully I don’t scrape when leaving the parking garage now. Kinda kills my want of a front lip, lol.

Or, get a front lip since those side skirts are too chunky to not be accompanied by a front lip, and take every driveway at an extreme diagonal.

(Former front-lip-equipped NB owner here. It was scraped to hell. Who cares?)

Could be the picture but I feel like there are factory suspensions lower than that. You’ll be good. Do the lip, buy the zipties.

These is my thoughts as well. The generic “garage vary”-style NB lips go very nicely with the “medium” tupperware package my car has. It looks incomplete with just the side skirts and mud flaps.

Mmm. Just the right amount of rice.

Oh yeah, Miatas ride extremely high for what they are. When I had my winter tires on my car was in every way more capable than my dad’s Ford Taurus in snow or uneven ground due to the ride height, attack and departure angles, and Torsen limited slip differential.

I had the full tupperware aero kit with the front lip.

(Note the loverly scrapes along the bottom.)

I thought about the Garage Vary lip but it wasn’t enough of a change from mine, and I figured I’d scrape it even more.

That looks like the half tupperware with the r-package front lip (or whatever it’s called). Full tupperware is this ricey awesomeness:

Mine scrapes coming out of the garage and it’s stock. Then again the garage exits at a slight downhill and immediately transitions to an uphill so basically anything scrapes.

Can confirm, my Mini is lower at the front than that.

Our parking garage is the same. Brand new Lexus CUVs scrape exiting but I have yet to.

I may have my Miata tupperware terms mixed up. Sold my Miata in 2008.

Whatever tupperware classification, mine was the 99-00 OE full aero kit. The 01-05 full aero kit was what you posted.

I do remember that both side skirts fit on all NBs but the front lip for the 99-00 doesn’t work on the 01-05, and the front...overlay or whatever you want to call that doesn’t work on the 99-00.
