To keep AC functional, I found thread on Miataturbo about a stretch belt option that fits the pulleys well. The only downside is that it is a 3 rib belt, vs the 4 rib pulley. So far it's worked well, but the peak need for AC is many months away.

I got it aligned earlier this week. The Paco stands seem to consistently under report camber (maybe due to the effective offset changing the suspension load?). I targeted 0.6* more than my end goal all around. Assuming that's true, I'm at 2.5F/2.0R camber, zero toe all around, max caster.

Speaking of weight reduction, I was surprised to do a side by side comparison and found the 11.75x0.81" to feel significantly lighter. Not only is the rotor overall thinner, it also has larger vents, so there's significantly less thermal mass. Looking at it now, it's hard to believe the stock rotor moves much air.

... and the towers weight 2.3lbs each. I still have the drivers side one in place due to the MC brace, but I am working on a lighter weight, more blingy setup.
