[jesseealexander]

I've got nothing. All my 'old' suspension stuff tends to get sold off pretty quickly to finance the new stuff. Fortunatly, this off season will be a very minor one suspension wise. As opposed to last year where at one point the Miata was on jacks with NO suspension (like... no shocks, no springs, no a-arms, no nothing LOL). I think the only thing being changed this year will be some rear adjustable bushings to give some more-positive camber. I ran into issues that my suspension can handle being lowered much more than it currently sits, but because the camber curves in the rear are so wonky after a certain point in compression, it got to where having the car sitting where I wanted it meant that -3 degrees in the rear was the MOST POSITIVE I could get...

You want some 1 year old poly rear bushings? :-P

I'll sell you a Koni/Ground Control coilover setup for one million dollars. No more cheapie and freebie parts for you!! :D

[jesseealexander]

^^ lol deal. i think im gonna strip that knob and clear it and make it really really shiny. lol

'preciate the generosity though. +1 for you.

:jawdrop:

thats pretty crazy lol. ive always heard that lowering miatas past a certain point was bad for handling but never really knew the details of WHY exactly.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to dump the car and throw on some twanky two's. But I am trying to get the center of gravity down. The other problem is you also start running short on suspension travel, even with super pimp shortened / revalved shocks. On standard, stock length shocks, fuhgedaboutit. On the positive side, 700#f / 450#r springs keep the suspension from much excessive movement, so it's not as big of an issue.

^^ troof. i just want to go a LITTLE bit lower than what im at now.
