I spent most of this weekend's available wrenching time installing a Kirkey aluminum racing seat to get my helmet lower than my Hard Dog and getting it adjusted for fitment. I've just started putting more time into the Miata after leaving it on the back burner for quite a while.
Update: I have just acquired an NB FM swaybar kit here locally! Boy, that guy's gonna be surprised when he gets off work and his sway bars are missing from his car. Damn asphalt is hot this time of day, too. I have denied myself the joys of HPDE for far too long.

Those rear bumpstops suck ***. I hated my car when I bought it because the rear bumpstops and stock shocks made it ride like ***. I <3 my Bilsteins for making me like my car again.

I am on stock stuff too. sucks, I was almost three-wheelin at the last autocross. My friend got a picture lol

Just not quiet ready to make that dive yet. I want to get through my next 3 track sessions (suspension does great there, track is smooth rather than quick and darty like in an ax) before I start the suspension overhaul.

Stock msm suspension for now... Waiting on v-maxx to free up over at FM. Though the Megan EZ-Streets look awfully tempting.

Stock R suspension with 179k miles, Bilsteins still seem to work ok.

I run a RB hollow race front sway with RB endlinks.

Upgrading to clubsports 700/425 with dual springs soon

I'm on Stewart Development Bilsteins with 520/300 springs. Ride is surprisingly good on the street.

Tein Flex, 7K/5K
FM front bar on 5" drops to clear the V8
RB endlinks heavily modded to work with my swap.

No rear bar but I have a FM bar if needed. I forgot to weld on the mounts on the lower control arms after moving the shock pockets before I went to paint with the suspension components.
