RE: WTB suspension

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

: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.

RE: WTB suspension

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.
