We have a used 99 Miata that the previous owner made more sporty. This included lowering the car. I understand that we can buy some aftermarket parts to raise the car a few inches. Anyone knowvwhat kind? Where? ---

Purchase Miata replacement springs direct from Mazda, or [RockAuto.com](http://RockAuto.com), or Autozone or really any store that sells replacement springs NOT identified as “lowering” , “sport” or “performance” ---

You have a car that has aftermarket parts on it to lower it, now you want to add more aftermarket parts to it to raise it back up ? Do it right and put stock parts back on it, be cheaper and safer in the long run.
