I like the wheels. I guess for $2700 running and shifting well, it can't be beat.....but that rust, man

MX5

Have you thought about swapping the entire suspension over to regular springs?
I hear it can be done for about the cost of one air strut, and then you have the peace of mind knowing another one is not gonna go soon....

Plus you could sell the other working ones-

18" mrr wheels with New tires too....i have already ordered oem suspension. Just waiting for parts. ..and i know i hate the rust but want to fix suspension first then the rust.

And the rust what am I missing? Spray the door clear it for and aft done 5-600 bucks. What am I missing a painted door on a 3k car no big deal

inrisls400

both front doors need to be fixed and painted and the hood as well...car had an exhaust leak and has been since fixed...also front right air strut is shot but I am replacing with used oem struts...

What kind of estimate you get on the paint? Again more ya put into it worse the deal gets. Body guys where talking high cost of paint to me lately, I have had a bunch of accidents lately all zero percent my fault.

no estimates just yet, but I have a cousin that does body so i'll get a pretty good deal....or I can probably just get some used doors off a wrecked lexus...my cousin has junk yard connects..

Bought used struts for 300 and had installed for 200...no more air suspension problems and cars diving like a champ. .super smooth

Why are the struts aired out? Are they not working?
