    I know BC Racing is a sponsor and all that, but their Miata stuff specifically is known for having very poor ride quality. Other platforms may be fine but for whatever reason they just missed the mark for this chassis. The rear suspension of the NA/NB is known for having very little space for a coilover in the first place, when you use a 2-piece shock like these instead of a 1-piece shock you lose a lot of travel. Would definitely recommend looking at more dedicated options like Supermiata Xidas for your car

    • @_Gingium_
      @_Gingium_  Год назад +8

      These ride great, way better than the Fortune 500's, & haven't had any issues with bottoming out the rear travel. I'm sure there are better more serious options out there but I genuinely am impressed with these so far.

    Great video as always. Surprising that the FA coilovers weren't keeping up. They also are DS coilovers. Maybe they just need a rebuild. Granted the 500 series is more of a street coilover and their 510s are track specific.

      I was surprised that the FA weren't keeping up either. They're old, but I put this tire setup on awhile ago and even then they didn't keep up. The stiffer spring rate and dampening of the new coilovers are what make the difference I believe.

    Plasti dipping molly pink is still a better idea than the tan that was on the rally miata. And I always just did that stupid oil filter 'trick' for the suspension bolts. Tight-ish then 3/4 turn back then ride height and torque, didn't know people actually left the bolt loose when it was on the ground.

    I ended up putting 7k springs on the front coilovers of my Volvo V70R, up from 5k because of the bounciness. Big difference in how it feels over bumps and even how it brakes. About to put stock shocks back in the rear because the rear spring is a one off and it's just too soft. It bottoms out and is too bouncy. Point is, it seems a stiffer spring if your coilovers are bouncy will give you a better quality ride although it may seem contrary.
