what do you recomend for a suspension system? i thought about a spec miata suspension... but i was told you can mix and match and make a better combonation that handles a lot better on the track

~$600. it was custom made for my car by Tim at Shore Motorsports. PM him if still interested, username is TurboTim. The setup with my 3" exhaust that Tim also made is ******* amazing! The car spooled like i had a T15 on there. We actually had to modify the turbo by hogging out the internal wastegate opening to reduce the boost it was building with no boost controller. I was seeing 17psi, 15 psi with the waste gate stuck open. We were able to reduce the boost to 12 and I bring it up to 14 with the boost controller. Here's a link to the dyno graph at 14psi max http://www.miatamx5.com/dynoruns/12-..._hp&tq_300.jpg and thats with just 1 morning of tuning on my way to the dyno place on the highway.

i find that it handles quite well on the track.... i didnt put the suspension in, my uncle put it in before i bought it from him.. all i know is they are konig, and they have a dial that has 8 different settings on it.

it's KYB. it's red with a black ****. They are very low-end shocks. Did you know what springs? You could probably benefit with talking to FatCatMotorsports.com. He can build you up something nice.
