At least, until I find something else to spend money on. Racing Beat 1.25" hollow sway bar, poly bushings, and mount reinforcements went on the Miata today and I don’t understand how such G-forces are possible.

Look at it. It’s beautiful.

Surprisingly easy to take the undertray off.

No word yet on if there’s any understeer because I haven’t been brave enough to push the car that hard on the few curves we have here in Kansas. Autocross is this coming Sunday though, so I’ll find out then.

My friend might chime in later as he has the 1.25" bar. I have the 1.125" bar because I bought it off of a wrecked ‘00 SE for a price that was too good to pass up.

I think the 1.25" might work better for you since you have the stiffer Mazdaspeed springs, whereas I think the 1.125" bar works better for NBs with stock non-Mazdaspeed suspension. Mine’s more of a neutral balance, with the rear end stepping out just so slightly under some autox corners, whereas 96Fomrula6Spd’s has minor under-steer (but it’s not like that stops him from occasionally wining pro class).

Flying Miata front and rear kit and coilovers make my NB oversteer a little bit but I also kinda do that on purpose...

Yeah I’m tempted to play with spring rates to get the car to rotate a bit more

It’s not bad. I’m tempted to play with spring rates to get the car to rotate a bit more readily.
