Here's some info on those coilovers, sounds impressive, this is posted by a miata nut who works for Flyin Miata and has written many books on miata's dude been in em for 20 yrs

Well, we had two cars equipped with this suspension at the track Saturday. One was Igor, and he was the fastest car there. The other was a mostly-stock 1990, and the driver of that car not only took a second off her fastest time when compared to stock (on a pretty cold track), she's now faster in her 1990 with Kumho AST tires than she was in Brandon's FM II car on AGXs.

Igor's heading for California in a few days. Then there will be more people with seat time on this suspension.

Yeah I wanna drop before AM but not sure it's gonna happen.....


Jay, I need more notice than a few hours, I might but not sure yet, if you plan something a few days out I can tell you for sure or not.

 

[Hecz]

idk who brandon is. Keith's statement is comparing when she drove her almost stock1990 versus brandon's fm2 car on agx

 

[Bheims]

Are you going for coils because of autox?

yessir,

Although i was leaning towards an adjustable set-up having something designed specifically to match dampening with spring rates makes more sense since I'm no race engineer.

 

[hooked_on4]

Not everyone at FM drives Miatas.
As you can see, one of us drives a maroon Kia.

haha

 

[Hecz]

yea. there's some shock spring combos that are ment to go together right?


I want to try out something like this.

 

[Hecz]

ok here's specs, insane that she beat his time in a stock NA

damn, so we would have to agree that the coilovers made the difference?. nice!


:edit:

well, not exactly the coilover, but the fact that, like you said.. the springs and shocks where designed to go together. Dope s**t dude!

 

[hooked_on4]

well the ones you posted are much like the combo on Brandons car
Tokiko Luminas on FM springs matched to the shocks, so the matched coilovers did better and for less $.

 

[Hecz]

well, those i posted are sold here on cc for $435 Shipped.

FM coilovers 595. not bad at all man . i payed 740 for my PIC's those sobs haven't gave me any problem either.

dude, you know Shoemacher is back? after three years of retirement he's now driving for Mercedes. his car broken on like the fifth lap yesterday. that's gota suck.


supposedly group C is coming back, if not alread back.
