Selecting Miata suspension parts starts with knowing what you want to do with your Miata. This page serves as a basic introduction to terms and components of the Miata Suspension.
Miata braces improve Miata suspension response by lowering the amount of chassis twist that occurs before the Miata reacts to steering and suspension input. Miata braces also reduce vibration of the open Miata chassis and the result is a Miata that feels more solid and rides smoother.
Miata suspension bushings wear and crack with age to the point that the Miata will not hold a decent alignment and handling becomes sloppy and loose feeling. New Miata bushings help make your Miata feel like a new sports car again.
Miata coilover suspension kits include springs and threaded body shocks (or sleeves with the GC conversion kits) to give YOU precise and independent control over the height of each corner of your Miata. The threaded body means that the outside of the shock tubes (or sleeve with the GC kits) are threaded like a bolt and this allows the threaded spring perch to be moved up or down to fine-tune the ride height. Want it level? You can do it. Want some rake? You can set whatever height and rake you want. We even have customers in heavy snow states who use our Miata coilovers to raise their Miata for winter driving and lower it for summer. And Miata coilovers give you the ability to precisely corner balance with your weight in the driver’s seat.
Miata shocks come in several flavors from simple nonadjustable upgrades to replace your worn out Miata factory shocks, to adjustable Miata sport shocks that give you the ability to tune your Miata ride and handling from plush to firm. In adjustable shocks the Miata Koni Sport adjustables below remain our favorite. Click into our “Technical FAQ” section for installation instructions.
Miata springs come in several rate and height choices. In general, the Racing Beat and APEX Miata springs have proven most popular here with Miata street drivers for many years thanks to their combination of reasonable cost, mild rate increase, and mild lowering. The higher rate Eibach Miata spring kits have proven most popular with the track users. We recommend Koni adjustable Miata shocks be matched with any of the Miata spring choices below.
Miata sway bars reduce body lean in turns, which helps keep the Miata tire contact patches flat on the ground to improve maximum corning ability. Also, when Miata body lean is reduced, the Miata reacts faster to steering inputs, resulting in a Miata that feels sportier, less sloppy. Miata sway bars are often the enthusiast’s first Miata suspension modification because the improvement in handling is dramatic, installation is easy, and the cost is low.
