I am looking to upgrade my suspension. I love the car so far but I feel it could be tighter/more responsive at speed and corner flatter. I have read all the many great things about the JIC coilovers but would that be going too far for a guy who does not race? I love a good stiff ride, and so do my kidneys, so this is not an issue. Any opinions from all of you who have changed your stock NC "Sport" suspension?

For those that do not want to go as serious as the full coilovers there are the Eibach springs we carry. Just a mild increase in rate and they get rid of that 4x4 look by lowering the new Miata 1.5 inches in the front and 1.3 at the rear. This spring kit is a dealer installed option in Europe and has proven popular with our customers.

Thanks for the suggestion. Can I use the factory Bilstiens with these effectively to get rid of the "freeway speed float"?
I really appreciate you taking a moment to answer questions! Nice to have the opinion of someone who has "been there, done that" with the NC. I usually learn by trial and error with my vehicles. This saves me some error
