Miata coilovers

[speedminded]

my point was never to discredit anyone and their experience with a high-quality coil-over setup, nor to say that a high quality coil-over setup doesn't matter. I was referring to daily driving. I was simply stating that whether the person wants supreme ride quality or amazing handling is up to them. As the OP stated,
he really just wants the car lower (it's already on springs if i'm correct).

The only people that say that are the ones that aren't willing or can't invest into a quality setup.

He posted a new $650 setup. He should invest that into a higher quality used setup.

I never said that a used set-up was a bad idea.
And i apologize if I have offended you saying that I don't feel like dumping useless money into my DD when I could easily just save it to put into my toy. That's just how my priorities are arranged. As far as my toy is concerned, I would never toss a bullshit suspension set-up under it just so I can achieve a small improvement. If I'm going to do it, I'll do it right. Hence the not being able to invest in a quality setup. Hell yea, right now I can't afford the suspension I want. Once again, this is why my suspension is still stock.

$650 is $650 whether you spend it on coil-overs or junior bacon cheeseburgers. You can spend $100 on a steak or you can feed 100 people hamburgers with it...what is the better value? Why not get the steak at the cost of hamburger? You can get higher quality setups used for the cost of the no-name coil-over.

Do you really need me to break this down for you even further?

Useless money? You're not offending me...$650 is $650, no matter how you spend it.

Why when for the SAME price you can have better?

If--someone--can--spend--650--dollars--on--new--suspension--then--that--person--can--spend--the--exact--same--650--dollars--on--better--used--suspension.

It has nothing to do with priorities or willingness to spend anymore because it's the same price, give or take a small bit. The people that have replied logically have been there, done that, bought the sound track and the t-shirt. Plus they've also fixed other peoples bad purchase mistakes.
