One thing that immediately jumped out at me:I guess we all have our own opinions, but 275 whp is definitely a monster in my book. Coming from a Mustang / NX background, you might be surprised at what 200HP will do for you in a 2,000lb car. One of the biggest problems I personally have is that it's tough to get enough rubber under the car to deal with much more than that in the twisties. Hitting a few cones is one thing, but plunging to my death over the side of a cliff would be a serious inconvenience.
For those not inclined towards coilovers, the stock-diameter springs that Flyin'Miata sells are a popular choice, and match well with Illuminas. Before you spend any money at all on the suspension though I'd suggest you check out FatCat Motorsports. Owned by a guy named Shaikh (pronounced Shake) who is pretty knowledgeable and if nothing else will spend a half hour bending your ear about shock valving and other black arts.
