Call me crazy, but I want a complete, bolt in solution. No trying to figure out what top mounts to use, which spring lengths to run, or bumpstops, etc, etc.
There will always be smart people on both sides of the GC/Tein argument, but for me, the Flex's seem to be a good way to go.

http://miataroadster.com/suspension.html? No Tein listed on their website. Do they sell them on eBay, or should I just contact them?
Thanks,

I've read a bunch of Emilio's posts, and for double duty I think the stock rates will be fine. I realistically only get to a few track days a year, there are no tracks anywhere close to home, and I don't have a trailer, so while I'm going to build the car to be reliable enough for track time, I don't want it to beat me up when I'm driving it for pleasure. IOW, I'd rather leave a few seconds on the table than grit my teeth every time I hit an expansion joint.

I thought the same thing when I got mine, that the higher spring rates would beat me up daily driving the car, but they are really quite bearable on the street. I went with the 9/6 combo and couldn't be happier. Roads around here are **** too.
As for running a GC/Koni combo, you'll lose a fair bit of suspension travel.

teh fail. ground control are a bunch of jerks that don't deserve any more money. call them. ask them ANY question. see how they answer it. ****; all of em.
and koni shocks just plain ride like ***. either get them revalved or stick with the bilsteins.
on that note, adrenaline racing has served me well with TEIN stuff.

The "big new store" is still under construction. Soon, there will be shopping cart buttons for every part you could possibly want. If you look on the site's "Links" page, it lists all the brands we can get. For the time being, please email us for quotes on parts not shown in detail on the site.
FYI, we are authorized dealer for both Stance and Tein, along with the other usual suspects.
Stay Tuned!
