WTB: NB extended rear top hats
Maybe 1" extended. They also need to work with 2.5" ID springs on Bilsteins, so the 10mm shaft size if they are super fancy. If they work with stock shocks they should work with the billies. Pretty much any of the common ones out there should work, but I figured I'd add that just in case someone had an oddball set.
$270/pair of used FMs need not apply.
So if they are taking up space in your garage, I'd love to take them off your hands. Thanks!

I realize your looking for used. If you decide on new, I use the Two Six Motorsports on my NB with the MSM coil over setup and really like them. Just offering an alternate.

Why the crap am I not getting notifications on my own thread?
Booo. Hisss.
We were just discussing those earlier today, but the website was down. Glad to see pics! The poly spring isolator is value added for me, as I was going to pick up a set of those anyway. I kinda wish they were 1", but what's a 1/4" among friends? Thanks for the link though! This is probably the route I'll take if nothing else comes up.

The only problem I see with the TwoSix mounts is they are only $25 cheaper than a pair of these little guys:
Extended Travel Rear Shock Mounts for Miata 1999-2005
And lets be honest, those are pretty cool... but again, I'd rather buy someones leftover cheapie ISCs

But, they aren't really coaxial mounts (if that's what your thinking) as the bottom perch doesn't move with the shock shaft (in reality, can any of us feel the diff anyway?). Also, make sure they support 10mm shafts without modification, or at least come with the bushings for 10mm shafts. And you'll still need the locators.
I ran front and rear on my NB and likely will take the fronts off this summer and go back to the NB top hats but not in the time frame you want them.
They do look cool though.

I've got another set of springs for my shocks that I was going to swap out, and figured "well, as long as I'm doing this I've wanted to try extended tophats for a while now, so..." but I've obviously made zero progress thus far. What is your timeframe? Maybe we can work something out.

My NB I need to get out of storage and maintenance done for the summer. That's the one I'll probably pull the fronts off.
My NA, and the one that's consuming time/money right now is in part hoarding mode. I'm just finishing up the engine build.
Depending on weather/schedule I may try and get the front shock top hats swapped out of the NB by mid May. I'll keep you in mind then as I hadn't really thought much about them.
