I have a white mark from where my neighbor’s Lexus bumped me... Does that count?

I’ll allow it. That’s some gnarly wheel gap though. Is that how they all look?

Yep, stock ride height. Although I’ve thought at times that my car seems to look a bit higher than others of the same generation.... Probably just crazy. Coilovers are waiting to go on to get rid of the 4x4 look.

Might be the angle combined with the beefy tires you have. Which coilovers did you get? Coincidentally I just ordered springs for the BRZ.

Xidas! high-end Miata specific brand.

Sounds like we’ll both have much improved suspension soon!

Nice! Did you end up with the three-way adjustable? Those must be the bee’s knees.

Yeah! I ended up with springs since they’re cheaper and the ones I landed on are made for the stock struts. Some of the forum guys have gotten pretty competitive times with the springs in Auto-X and track days so I figured why not. Can’t say no to that.

Yep, with helper springs and coaxial top hats. Been riding on stock suspension (320,000 miles of wear) for two years, with 2 blown shocks. This is going to be a huge jump....

I need to try out a BRZ already. Loved the interior layout and seating position at the dealership

Oh I bet it’ll be like night and day. When are you installing them?

You should. It’s amazing. The seats hold you in and the it gets roomier as you get used to the car. When I first got in the car for a test drive I felt like I was an elephant in a china shop. Now I feel it’s quite spacious.

I thoroughly enjoyed the FRS I drove. I have strongly considered owning both my Miata and an FRS/BRZ. Its like a minivan in terms of how much space there is and how practical it is. But it still drives exactly like a Miata!
