Suspension:
Engine and horsepower is what most gearheads talk about, but a Miata/roadster is about handling. The Miata has an awesome stock suspension, but with the increased power, dive and lift is excessive.

The system allows stroke adjustment on top of spring adjustment and damping. The stroke adjustment will allow lowered Miatas to be setup off the bump stops.
Install was a breeze, the tough part was getting the setup of ride height, shock travel at nominal ride height, and corner weights correct.
Ride is improved, mostly from not riding on the bump stops. Shock damping feels right on, at the mid settings. Handling was transformed with this setup as compared to the Koni coilover setup previously on the car.
The interior is very simple. The rollbar is a BSP competition bar. The a-pillar pod has two gauges - VDO water temp and boost. A small oil temp gauge rests below the radio along with a Greddy turbo timer.The steering wheel is a Momo Competition. Two small LEDs are mounted under the gauge cluster for a shift light and Aquamist failure indicator.New! March 30, 2005
