NC Coilover for under $1500
Posted: Sat Jan 29, 2011 11:26 am
Hey Brian I know you are the guru and I seek your help. I have already spent hours reading all the NC suspension threads on miata.net and have gotten a pretty good idea on which coilovers to look at. Since I'm still in school my budget is kinda tight but I've been saving for some coilovers for a long time and set my cap at $1500.
My choices are:
Megan Racing: $900
B&G RS2: $1500
KW1: $1400
H&R: $1200
Now my questions to you are:
Are the Megan's worth looking at? From the two threads on miata.net I understood they had a bad rep but not so much in the miata world. I take my car out on some canyon roads pretty often and I know for $900 I'm not gonna get Ohlins, but will it be a step up from my stock Blistens?
From all the reading I've done I discovered you tested B&G's RS2 and help perfect them. You wrote some good things about the RS2's and about B&G but you dont sell them on your website. Did you in the past and then pull them?
The KW1 and H&R seem to be the most popular setup among NC's. I did read about a couple issues with the KW1 and couldn't really find much with the H&R. From what customers have told you and your own opinion which seems like the better pick?
I have a 2006 mx-5 sport with 37,000. The car is my DD but I always take "the long way" wherever I go. I also have plans for a couple auto-x events. In addition to coilovers I plan on getting sway bars too. I hope I asked the right questions and look forward to hear what you have to say about these four setups. I appriciate your help.
