When you say they need the logo to be legal for NASA is that spec Miata or like TT/PT

Hmmm. Add that to the list of things to upgrade when NASA comes back to the PNW (hopefully)

I'm not building a car around PT/TT but if it comes to the region I would run it for fun. Which is why I would want the NASA legal version. I have the group buy version, which means I would have to upgrade at some point.
Are the normal offset bushings +2 also? |

kk cool. I know nothing about NASA so thats good to hear. Why are the ball joints points but offset bushings aren't?

Cool thanks. I have a turbo car so I assume I would be up a lot farther in the classes.

Cool. I'm a somewhat shitty driver, but hopefully will at least be decent by the time (if ever) NASA comes back.

What's the least amount of camber these would allow for ? Max I got on my car was 1.9 deg. Negative. Don't wanna buy these and be stuck with a ton of negative camberssss.
* I need new lower ball joints |
per the original post- -.5 is the least
|
Depends upon your ride height. It all works together. The lower the car, the more negative camber you will "naturally" have due to the double wishbone suspension.
These are best used on track cars where the extra negative camber is needed. In my case, I need about 0.5 degrees more negative for my front tires to be happy. Not a setup I would drive on the street though. |

... Can you please advise your 'pinch' ride height, and what position your camber adjusters ended up in to give your -ve 3.5 on the front? Cheers. |
FYI, mine had the logo on them. So some might have them.

Thanks for taking the time post some real info up. Awesome to see a review of these early on!

The new ball joint will shift your current adjustment range about another -2 degrees. If you were able get a max of -2.5 before you can now get a max of -4.5
The range of adjustment on all Miata's is about 2.5 to 3 degrees. Where you fall in that range varies by ride height, NA vs NB and all sorts of other little variables from manufacturing tolerances to impact damage. At my ride height I max out at -3 degrees. That means my adjustment range is -.5 to -3. degrees. With these new ball joints the new range is -2.5 to -5 degrees. This will allow me to raise the car slightly (it's slammed to get better camber) and get the -3.5 I am looking for with great castor numbers. Hope that helps. The actual figures above may be slightly off but you get the idea. |
second run coming?
