Ordered the upgrades for my suspension. A set of Flyin' Miata's Afco shocks and springs.
These will take me from 318lbs springs in the front to 600lbs and 233lbs in the rear to 375lbs. While quite a bit stiffer, it will allow me to lower the car a bit more and it should improve the handling of the car even further then it already is. These add a bit more customizability to the setup as well. Raising and lowering the car is as easy as turning a plate on the bottom of the spring with a special wrench. There will be up to 11" of travel as well...
I also ordered a polyurethane front splitter to add a little down force at higher speeds. for the most part this will only really help at the Helena events where we see 60+ for a good portion of the course.
I am hoping that I will have all of the parts and have time to install them before the last event of the year on October 6th.
After looking at photos of my car around corners and watching a friend co-drive my car at Nationals, I'm thinking about going stiffer on my springs also. Right now I'm running FM's Vmaxx track pack with 504 front & 336 rear. If I win the lottery I'd like to try some Xidas in 750F, 500R. I was supposed to be done with spending money on upgrades, so there's a good chance I'll have to just deal with what I've got now.
ReplyDeleteI haven't actually spent money on my car in almost 2 years... so I think its time I start upgrading things again.
ReplyDeleteOnce the new shocks/springs come in I am going to try and find someone who wants my old set. They are still good, just not what I'm after any more.
