Default 225/45-15 goodrich & CM3 15x9" wheels

My Monster sets real high on the kit front springs and the fronts moved to the rear per the kit instructions. Right now it does not look like I need to roll the fenders? Is it going to keep this much clearance when I get some miles on it or is it going to settle lower? Go Ahead and roll the fenders?

Something is very wrong, unless your car is going to run in the Baja 1000. Not being there one can only imagine that either they sent the wrong springs, or were meant to be cut down. It is not the tires.

What makes it interesting too, is that I did not do the spring installs. I bought a partially built Monster from someone else and the springs were already installed. I can see that the front springs say "monster Miata" on them. I guess that the original fronts were moved to the back. I don't know what to do but to cut them down after I get it running and drive it around a bit to make sure nothing changes. I guess I will start by cutting off a loop on each one? Not possible to cut part of a loop off right?

You would have to flatten/bend (heat) so that they lay correctly . but possibly someone from this forum who has had a similar issue will way in.

How about cutting off 1 coil on each spring and then using coil over sleeves to adjust ride height?
