Owned it. Hated it. Better than most but still just HARSH.

[quote=""DCIV""]Which gutter? I looked and can’t find anything. Also I wasn’t too thrilled with my gutter ppl. They have a couple spots I find lacking as they are suppose to go past the roof. Well they went just a hair short and so I have some spots that drop onto window rails and it’s loud.

all sub 2k coilover setups are going to be trash. Feal and fortune auto are the only ones at that price point i would consider.

I have tein HA coilovers. Absolutely love them.


It's all personal preference though. If I wanted comfy I would get an s65. I don't think the tein is comfy but I do feel it's right. I have no complaints and did almost 400 miles on them no stops and felt fine.

That’s good to hear. I’ve thought about throwing a set on but didn’t want a harsh ride. Sounds like they aren’t too bad for everyday driving.

Agreed. I know Feal will do a custom spring and dampening set up for you.

Also on Tein they used to be a decent setup when they were all made in Japan. Recently they have fallen out of favor in the Miata community because most of them are made in China now.

I'm an airlift dealer. But they are a weird company. Supposedly, I can only install the stuff at the shop and not ship the stuff to people. But, hit me up for pricing. I've never used them, but signed up for their dealer program.

And there are plenty of factory air ride cars. They ride nicely. I've got rear air ride on my Denali and full air ride on my R500. Both ride very smoothly and it can automatically adjust for weight differences inside the car... where coilovers can not.
First to 184 million :lol:

I will be ready end of oct. with all the extras, it will be more than I was originally thinking. Which is okay, I wanna do it right.

I am sure the vehicle will ride great, I don’t want worse handling than stock though.

Talked to the only 3/s person I can find with air ride.

He has d2 shocks and recommends Vera for management.

Thoughts ryan? I hadn’t looked into Vera yet.

My friend with a bagged fit and has had several bagged cars says airlift performance is the best, he wishes he would have gone that route with his current car instead of accuair.

looks like the setup coop is talking about doesnt even have height sensors, and charges more for BT support and stuff. I really dont know much, just what limited research ive done. Im more concerned with getting something that performs well, and i know some people use airlift performance competitively.

Yeah I’m 99% gonna go with airlift but also am trying to do as much reading as I can. I am gonna spend as much a whole 3/s so it needs to be right.
