One of those STF builds

Because the 2 reminds us of the Miata in so many ways. I think it's a Miata but fwd lol

I still think I will own one again when I can afford an other car. I had the Speed3 and I find the 2 to have more character and personality than the Speed3. If the MS3 was AWD with less computer ESP crap it would be a great car, but nothing beats a drivers car.

I can't wait to see what the next RX-7 and MX-5 will look like...

Oh I agree that they are similar. One of my good friends said it best that the 2 is just like a 1.6L Miata. Thats what I tell people.

I do find it funny how many 2 owners either used to have a Miata or still do.

Seems to be a common theme. Though there are several us Rx7 owners mixed in here too....

I installed the 400 pound front springs today and got another alignment. For daily use these springs are great dare I say better then stock stock PSS springs(275). The front end feels more planted and doesn't bounce as much. Steering feel is more direct as well. All and all a great upgrade for any bilstein PSS owner. next I will be changing the rear springs to 375. Stock is 220.

Stock eibach bilstein

Installed

Something I noticed during today's alignment was the rear toe changed from 0.44 to 0.56 and I am pretty sure that is because of gas.... So at a full tank I have 0.44 which is good for daily driving and when the car is empty aka race fuel the toe is 0.56 and the car rotates better!!. So unless I am going crazy I think this is awesome

This is a conversion of ypur bilstein coilovers with eibach suspension springs ?

Feel free to post this link in your fb group . My shock/spring setup is what the b spec guys run. I listed the parts needed to run a 2.5in I.d spring on the PSS kit.

I have a similiar setup but machined th upper perch and the lower adjuster to accept a 2.25" sprint and helper.

Looks great. did you settle on a ride height yet? Was it 23.5/24? that's where I ended up. I was lower but the muffler really took a beating with the tri point bar installed at last event. So it raised it up.

Sweet, I like the idea of switching the springs out. I may do this too in the future

I'm interested in seeing how it sits now, too. I'm not that far north of OP, and he says the Bilstein setup is very livable, and for the price it's hard to argue with.

Side shot already posted it's on page 3. Its a little more then a 2 finger gap all around. Not very low at all

I have a little over 1000 miles on the tranny fluid and oil so far so good Tranny feels great and not burning any oil. I plan to change the oil ever 5k and the tranny fluid before race season starts.
