What coilovers? Remember to upgrade those mounts I told you about. A rollbar will add weight but it also adds a lot of stiffness, so you may want to look into that. A sport bar uses thinner tubing so it won’t weigh as much as a hardcore.

MS is the most common Standalone with the most support for it.

That’s what I’m running/banging my head into at the moment.

Maybe this thread will motivate me to work on mine.

Don’t let boxersix see this.

the kit needs to be soldered together, it was a DIY kit. most of the main board is assembled, id say 60-65% complete. but all the sensors are new GM parts, has an onboard map sensor, comes with GM coolant and IAT sensors and bungs.

its all there, i just dont have anything to use it on

Leave the lame V8s out of this thread. A properly built turbo one is superior.

Racelands aren’t really that great if you want to autoX dude. You should have gone with an adjustable shock and ground control sleeves if you’re on a budget. Hopefully you’re happy with them though.

I don’t think you understand what makes them good in views clubroadater Miata owners and bad in views of others.

They are the cheapest coil over that allows you to slam the car and be herra frush.

However you lose your shock travel, they don’t do that well on shock dynos and they aren’t exactly comfortable.

If youre on a budget and you want slammage, that’s what you get. If you want a good track setup you go another route.

Sway bars and strut bars won’t fix the downfalls of the shock.

They just mad bro, as they spend all their money on Teins just to be slammed and realize now there is a much much cheaper option.

So their justification is that they retain the suspension travel.
