Tilting the coilover back is likely only going to cause FUCA to shock contact. Spacers are the correct solution if you're having clearance problems there. I run 5mm up front on my 10s for this reason. I really hope these shocks don't *actually* show up with camber plates, because if so, that's ******* bonkers and I would avoid any company that shipped that product like the plague.

I'm still a bit confused on your background here. You say you're OE automotive but you're talking about custom chassis and suspension things? Those worlds are fairly far apart and that's a very broad range of design

While there is no specific treatment for xika, your doctor may recommend acetaminophen or perhaps an NSAID like ibuprofen to treat the symptoms of joint pain or fever.

I will not leave you hanging. They will show up, but this is the first set they are making like this. Custom work.

And those of you claiming there's an upper control arm conflict, I just double checked and there is definitely clearance to tilt them in a decent amount. This IS how I will fit these wheels.

With Race rates, Extra Low bodies, dual springs, and pillow ball upper mounts, you're at $1932.

But hey, you've got pro valves.

You are a true pathfinder, the Ferdinand Magellan of Miata suspensions. All this years ******* around with camber bolts when I could of just dialed sick negative camber with camber plates. Do you buy all the non yet reviewed products on Amazon also?

Too bad their BBK is too large for 15” wheels. 17” is minimum diameter. I am out!
$1300 for carbon fiber rotors is competitive pricing.

I know you are joking but there is a fellow on M.Net who has their cast iron BBK and posted about it.

Wait so you managed to talk these guys into making camber plates... for a Miata?

@emilio700 I think we now see the value of Ceika coilovers. I bet you wouldn't put camber plates on your coilovers if asked. For shame.

SO I am at work waiting for stuff, and I decided to have a read. ND, couldn't find a thread for NA/NB
https://forum.miata.net/vb/showthrea...=725162&page=2

Was complaining his pedal was a bit long



Sounds like their R and D, is if it fits, send it, even if the details aren't even close.

The huge piston area has the same effect as fitting a much smaller M/C. Completely wrong hydraulic ratios, far too much increase in hydraulic advantage. Everything else being equal, as you add available brake torque (BBK), you can slightly reduce hydraulic advantage. Increasing it leads to an awful mushy pedal that is like a light switch. I have driven an NA with brakes like this. Dangerous. We fixed it by swapping all 4 calipers for ones with pistons two steps smaller. For this Ceika kit, there is no fix. It simply won't work the way brake are supposed to work.

But hey, they were a bargain!

I want to know where you buy the 245/10 tires to fit 21" wheels on an NB...
