you should do both together, otherwise you will have to realign the car twice (unless you are pretty quick on the bushings). what calipers are those?

Don't have the bushings yet, I'll be doing bushings in a few months anyways.

Stock rear calipers, my front ones are newer, and functional, lol.

I see, cool. bushings are great, I am happy with mine, although it seems 949 moved to prothane over ES. Probably for cost reasons.

Lookin good though, I love how easy it is to do brakes on the miata...

I hated doing my bushings. It sucked. Next time, I will burn every last one of them out.

I pretty much agree. plus jaw pullers tend to mar the bushing hole some, especially if the bushing is particularly stuck.

I didn't have too many issues with mine. Honestly was fairly easy. A little butane torch and one of those redneck setups.

I blame the great white north for my difficulties.

My car lived up North for it's whole life. Poor thing shows it too. Luckily no rust on the body. But the control arms were bad.

Hopefully now that it's in the South I won't have many more issues.

Always loved the R Miatas.

Spend the money and do the shim under bucket lifter upgrade.

Yeah, I'm not necessarily looking forward to doing the bushings. Since my car has spent most of it's life in up-state NY . I'll probably use a mix of burning and pressing them out.



Not legal for my Solo 2 class and I've got a whole NB1/2 engine to swap in anyways:
