Poly urethane spring isolator for NB
 
hey guys, I did a google search and came up short when I looked for a Energy suspension part number for NB polyurethane upper spring isolator (damn that's a mouthful). I see that Miata Roadster has a bunch of parts but I have no idea which is the right one. I have an NA and I'm trying to put NB Top hats on the car but the springs move around a lot and looks like some isolators would fix this. Help?

link to what I have found so far.

Go to Summit Racing and search for Energy Suspension 2.5" spring isolator. It's also in the better Bilstein thread in multiple places.

Sorry, on my phone.

Where are the 2.5" number coming from? I see it everywhere but when I measure my Flyin Miata springs the ID of the spring is ~3.3" which is supposed. To be similar to the Miata springs. When people say 2.5" springs is it not actually 2.5"?

Sorry, I ASSUMED you were asking about coilover parts. Try this; Energy Suspension Coil Spring Isolators

Yep those are what I have been looking at. So when people talk about 2.5" springs they are referring to the Ground control sleeve like setup and a different top hat? Forgive my noobishness but it's not super clear on the web.

If your just changing NA mounts for NB but keeping the same spring you need a thicker isolator to keep same height (or live with the lower height).

Thicker isolator: Urethane Spring Riser for 99-05 Miata Shock Mounts

In answer to your question re 2.5" springs, that's correct.
