Awww man you did it now. Friggin hot out there! Yeah, I could use some help. I'm planning a install day with like six or eight guys. Plan will be to knock out the whole list in like three hours, then drink beer and hang out/cool off in the pool. Maybe we'll fire up the grill. It will probably be in September. August weekends are booked up!
Almost a year of ownership on the stock suspension. Been on the track with my Miata and she did great, save a clicking CV joint on the right rear side.
About the only thing I'd like the ability to play with (i.e. adjust to my personal taste after having tried it out) is the ride height and the dampening. To that end, I have been looking for adjustable coilovers for quite a few months. I got BC's on my FX and loved them. Made in the same factory are Megan's and this afternoon, my new suspension arrived. Can't wait to start on the install.
Adjustable dampening is the bees knees, IMHO. Everybody feels things differently and there is just no substitute for being able to dial in comfort for the street. Adjusting the suspension to full stiffness for my 3 to 5 track days per year is as easy as turning a knob.
I also have a 1996 Torsen LSD & axles cleaned up and ready for install - pulled from a yard.
The rear axle CV boots, clamps, collar and bearings will be cleaned up and reassembled with fresh grease, new boots and clamps. The knuckle, hub & dust shield in the photo are going into the spares pile. I'd love to get started, but Houston Coffee and Cars is first thing in the morning and I'm taking the Miata for the first time.
