IRP drift kit v2 control arms
 
my crusty mx-5 is about to rust away from under my butt and all my bushings are just about gone. now i was already planing on changing my subframe to the v8 roadsters tube subframe to make more space and get some streed cred for the turbo build I'm doing. but I'm not putting my rusty old control arms back on there. so i was looking at new ones and came across the IRP drift kit V2. i have heard a lot of good things about there shifters but have never seen anybody run their control arms. i was wondering if anybody has any experience with them. or if should just go for the v8 roadster ones and get some drift knuckles with them.

ill be all ears for some recommendations.

p.s. its not going to be a daily driver. so the heim joints should be fine for the usage its going to get.

I don't see "street cred" on your flow chart.

@Masterdog990

im unsure if the overall quality of this product but i can tell you that these do not appear to have a front sway bar end link mounts on the lower arms.
it is also worth mentioning that spherical bushings do not last long especially if you plan to daily drive the car in any way.
Most every miata owner on this forum hates people that drift miatas (which is understandable) but being one of the few drifters on this forum i can tell you that i successfully have been running destroy or die front drop knuckles and lower control arms with Poly bushings, combined with the new version of SPL tie rods.
please excuse my missing front end this is my 300k mile turbo car, i will also mention that front spacers are required for this setup and 14in wheels will require a lot more spacer than 15in wheels

concealer404 has been spending too much time with his stwooook and forgot what miata suspension looks like.

It certainly isn't fucking yellow, that's for sure.

afm 09-17-2020 08:11 PM

A simple jounce test would clearly show that those are shock mounts.

These look pretty yellow to me?

I would apologize for shitting up this thread, but I think this content might be better than those control arms, so /shrug

That’s a different house and garage, because the idiots who poured the pad at his new shop didn’t make any sectional relief cuts.
