    I've used Illuminas on a non Miata before and liked them, I had AGXs and Tein springs on my Miata, I actually liked the AGXs but HATED the Teins. I'd also pass on the Blues.

    I haven't read everything, are you set on a coilover sleeve or would you be interested in a good spring? A good shock/spring combo with a few other suspension bits can provide a very nice handling Miata. You just won't have ride height adjustability but...

    Honestly, I'd grab a set of Illuminas(run these on my daily and they have been more than I could ever ask for out of a set of shocks, still going strong after ~3 years) or Koni Sports, and just go with a set of Racing Beat springs.

    The bilsteins could be nice but they lack adjustment and are all probably worn out in some shape or form.
    yeah i figured if i got the bilsteins i'd have them rebuilt. i'll look into the illumina's.

    i'm not dead set on a coilover sleeve but i'd much prefer it. i'd feel a lot better have the adjustability, but if i can come up with a good shock/spring combo that is just too good to pass up, i might jump on it. i mean i can always get some relatively good shocks and some springs and then go with adjustable sleeves later on.
