Miata coilovers

[Doppelgänger]

If I were looking for suspension advice, i'd never fathom the idea of asking on IA lolololol



I see where this is going to go. Like so many people who have picked up Miatas in the past couple of years, they think the car is going to be suber bad-ass and for cheap. They buy cheap shit for it, find out those parts make the car look/feel/drive/handle like ass and also think that adding intake and exhaust makes some big difference like their buddies Honda. Once they find out that it doesn't work like that, they get disappointed and sell the car...esp the 1.6 cars because they are incredibly slow without decent FI. Am I being harsh? Probably. But there are TONS of places to rear about what works and what doesn't. I see the posting of ebay garbage as not wanting to do research outside of IA.

Now go spend about 2 weeks reading.

Worrying about ride height is the last prority when looking at suspension if one even remotely cares about how it's going to feel. Wanna go "cheap" and not gripe? KONI yellows and H&R springs and some Raving Beat sway bars. All that brand new is about $800 and is well balanced. Just because you don't want to "go to the track" doesn't mean you should cast all thoughts about ride quality out the window and some cheap shit crappy eGay suspension. Miataq suspension was designed from the get-go for handling..not grocery shopping like 240s and Civics.

The only difference that really makes is noise. Removing the weight of the hood from a stock Honda will probably make the car faster than putting on a "cold-air" intake and exhaust lol.

The B-series and K-series respond very well to a GOOD full exhaust, GOOD intake, and tune... but you know that
