So the final decision was the stock suspension back on the car and use the camber bolts to get -2.0 camber up front for just a little extra front end grip. Technically I'm still STF because of the camber bolts, but I'm probably not going to race next year. My plan is to go to LRR tires to...

That is a kind offer, but given everything we've discussed here I think I'm going to go back stock. Maybe I'll explore getting them revalved in the future, but for now I'm tired of the ride and need a more comfortable daily. My mind is preoccupied with chevy V8s right now, so I want to work...

I was more thinking front and rear bars with Konis. I agree that beefy bars and stock dampers sound like a bad plan. Though I'm totally fine accepting that this would be a bad plan and just giving up.

Your car does look pretty awesome. I do like they NB idea because then I can use the really awesome Konig Dial-In wheels I have on my 2 right now. I'll probably put it off for a little while though because I have a 85 Caprice I'm converting into a muscle car that I want to throw some money at...

I would actually prefer a NB. I definitely can't daily a miata of any kind though. My torso is too tall and I hit my head on the roof unless I sit in a weird way my neck doesn't like. That's why I have a 2 in the first place, I traded in a much loved NC because I just couldn't drive it everyday...

I agree, I'm always on the look out for a good NA, but haven't gotten luck yet. The PSS10 is non-adjustable.

The entire reason for the change is the harsh street ride as the car is primarily my daily. Also, in my local region I don't really seem to be able to hang with the rest of my class. I'm not sure what it needs, maybe more spring the front, maybe the Kuhmo V720s in 205 are letting me down...

Thanks for the tip on CS dampers, I had forgotten that those were available. I would be interested in Koni Yellows, but they don't make them for the fronts of the 2, only the rear. How is the adjustability of the CS dampers? Do the rears need to be unbolted to adjust them? Cause I might lean...

So I've had a Bilstein PSS10 nearly since I bought my 2 in October 2013 and I'm ready for a change. I race in STF right now, but I want to move down to HS for next year. I have 3 questions on how to setup the car. 1. Koni makes shocks for the 2 in their STR line. These are non-adjustable...

So a ran the car with it's Bilstein PSS suspension at an SCCA event this weekend and it very obvious that the stock yokohamas are not up to the task of competing in STF. I'm wondering how wide I can go with wheels before I'm going to have rubbing issues with my Bilsteins. I figure 205/50R15 on...

Wow, bunch more people racing these than I thought. I wanted to look at the current alignment specs, but that was a year ago and the sheet is MIA. It was just a standard road alignment, it was way toed out from the suspension swap and I didn't like that one bit. I think the negative camber is...

For this season it's going to be the stock wheels and tires. This is first time I've actually joined the SCCA and I'll be trying to stay up on my event points for my region. I'm not expecting to win anything on the stock Yokohamas.

So I've got the full Bilstein suspension installed and camber bolts on order. I want to get a performance alignment done to give the car an advantage in SCCA STF competition this year. Any suggestions on what to ask the camber and toe to be set to? I want a setup that's streetable, I don't...

With the Bilstein PSS coilovers, adjusted as high as possible in the front and as low as possible in the back I have achieved an even drop of about an inch from stock. It's as low as I'd want a daily car to be, it really makes the car look mean. It only scarps on the steepest of inclines.

Bumping this thread as I'll be doing this again but with 80A instead of 60A. :)
