No more stock ride height

I don't know where your getting your information wes. I guess I didn't read the miata guys opinions, cuz those guys suck. They are Crazy about KSport in Europe. I paid 850 Shipped for them. A comperable Coil over that isn't D2(<Shit in a box) is runnning way over a thousand. Tein Basics don't have adjustable dampening. The quality of these is very good from what I can tell so far.
-
well for one, "YOU" don't know how to adjust dampening, not even a bit. so why get it?
And still won't get you to the top at auto-x's. i will put money on that.
You have to have the ability to concentrate for more then 10 sec.
-
not to hate, becasue i was going to buy the same things before i got a deal on my stance's
ksport=D2. they are the same. and i have heard that 9 time outta 10, when on the same settings, you will get 4 different rebound settings.
-
as with all jap coilovers, there pretty much shit out the box.
compare some penske's or hell even koni yellows there better then this stuff.

whats everyones opinion of omni power then?
here a psht, there psht, everywhere a psht psht

idk havn't heard anything bad for street use, but you deff. don't see road race guys running them
-
eh dumb, i wanna do something a bit different this year for suspension but it seems like no one makes anything worth giving a shit about anymore for even close to a decent amount

I had omni race coilover's on the coupe.
matt would prebly had a better opinion on them then i do. i like them a lot, and they held good through turns with even the baldest of tires.
but i would see if you can find a set of stance gr+. they arent that expensive and are comparable to the KW's from what i heard from some of the TA guys here. just another option.
-
i would love to see someone run a set of tuned koni's with matched springs on ground control perches. but thats around $1000

I had when i set up my GC\tokico 5-ways set up, they were BA. untill fu*ked them up when i slammed it.

Marge says they look like dildos with hair brush handles. haha.
But now you are going to have to sell the car rather than install them.......jk, They look good.

A sleeve style coilover sucks compared to a fullcoilover. Typically most aftermarket shocks are only designed to accommodated up to 1.5" lowering w/o losing strut travel. If your gonna do it right you need to be able to adjust your spring preload while maintaining full travel.

I can only see a coilover like a penske, bilstein, or moton doing this there are others but the prices go up from there.
the set up i mentioned is a very good slternative to buying $4k+ coilovers.
and that price included having them tuned to your car/driving style.

There is many options in the $1500 range. There is no need for him to spend $4k for what he's trying to do. The big miata road race guys are spending $2k or less on their setups. More or less for what he's probably gonna end up doing w/ the car is driving it those Ksports will ride a whole lot better then a set of GC's slammed on stock aftermarket struts bouncing off the bump stops.

And I dont know where your gettting that they ALL suck. It really depends on the site your on and how you approach them. I'm definately not hatin on your purchase, just pointing out what I have heard. I have NO BASIS otherwise to draw from. So, if your happy with them, then great. I will say this tho. The single best improvement you can do on a Miata to get better handling is to do SWAY BARS FIRST. That will be net the biggest initial gains. Any Miata auto-x'er or road racer will agree with that. So, if your plans are to do either of them, invest in some. You wont be dissapointed.

I said custom valved? do you know what that means? it means they set up the valving inside the shock to work with the car, ( weight,useage,etc...).
Now i had never mentioned this to joel it wasn't even towards him. it was towards brandons and zac. but you would have known that if you would pay attention.
$1500 is also not under $1000. do math. shit.
