The only difference I have seen with miata bushings is that they are more readily available. Thet may be identical.

I forgot to update this thread with my latest shocks. These are 36mm Monotube Bilstein coilovers for the festiva. I currently have 180lb springs on them and they are on my bone stock 89L. The dampening is a bit much for stock, but boy is this thing on rails! Lol.

working on something for you to try, Charlie. (actualy, JesterATC is modeling an add on, and if the prototype goes as planned, you should be able to re-create it in your shop).
it should complement the pictured suspention components nicely, that's all i'll say.Trees aren't kind to me...
currently: 2 88Ls (Scrappy and Jersey), 88LX, 90L(Pepe), 91L, 91GL (Skippy) 93 GL Sport (the Mighty Favakk), 94 (Bruce) & 95 Aspire SEs, 97 Aspire (The Joker),
94 Justy 4WD, 87 Fiero GT, plus 2 parts cars. That's my fleet.

advanceddynamics did you try the gas adjust shocks for the vw.
sorry if i missed it.Comment

I have them on my 89 4 speed right now. They feel good on the street, a little firmer ride than the stock fitment KYB's even with a softer (120lb) spring rate. Ideally I would like to run the lowest spring rates possible, but still have predictable and controlled body roll. This will allow the car to absorb bumps and bump curbs most efficiently. I have not used the Gas adjusts on the track yet, as I haven't been to the track in several months. I've been busy with work and school and trying to get enough new ideas together to justify the cost of a race season. Thanks for your interest.Driving for me is neither a right nor a privilege.

awesome sounds promising, i dd my car over 100 miles each day to work.
and would like my car to ride ok but handle well to.
but I'm also on a budget. and don't won't to shell out 400 bucks for the raceland setup.
i was thinking vw gas adjust or kybs. with 120 lbs 10 inch springs.
but I'm kinda lost on the front i think i want 180 lbs springs ?? i have the b6d swap but stock trans.
and but them springs on Rio, mk2 or neon strut..
what's your thoughts.
thinks in advanced i greatly appreciate it and all you do for this sight.Comment
