Just bought some coilovers!
hey, if you havent heard of the Raceland coilovers, here they are: Raceland Full Coilover Kit for Mazda MX5 NA
comes with a two year warranty, and was only 272 shipped to my door. Blueroadster on cr.net has a review for them, also checked google and read other reviews by others with other products and didnt necessarily read anything bad. they seem to sell quality products. i will write a full review once i get them

was it worth the money?

i didnt really buy them for the sole purpose of tracking it weekly or anything. i dont visit the track often but i do drive my miata pretty hard down chicatawbut road once in a while. im just building a once in a while track car/daily driver. should be good for that right?
although i havent heard of them being any good for track use
dustin, i did manage to snap two studs off my LGT from not torquing my lugs down, hopefully i wont make such a careless mistake this time around
jacob300zx, thanks for the advice.

The valves will puke quickly and the car will never handle. The only reason I wouldn't buy them is because I'd just buy revalved bilsteins so I don't have to work on that part of the car ever again.

Im curious as well. I wouldnt ever buy them but I wonder how quickly the wear out.
Im sure we can all agree that they most likely have poor performance and likely will wear out somewhat quickly.
But the question is how poor is the performance and how quickly do they wear out? haha.

They lower the car. To whatever height you want. They are EXTREMELY comfortable around town on a daily driver for being coilovers.
Ask me how I know

I bought these instead of buying oem replacements for pretty much the same cost, my frame rails scrape almost every speed bump in parking lots. I removed the helper spring and have about an inch before riding on bump stops and it rides way better than any car I have been in with coilovers. They're aren't as bouncy due to the soft springs but they're stiff enough to keep me from bottoming out while driving.
I'm riding on 15x7 195/50/15 toyo's.
