    I had the sane coilovers. Even though they're softer rates, they're about on par in terms of ride/ performance as Megan ez streets. They did fine for daily and spirted driving. They're a little soft for the track though. I currently have a set of Vmaxx and they're wonderful. I think you're Yonaka coils may have been damaged when you had to break free that adjustment knob. But the main thing with these coilovers is that they're aren't valved for a Miata. The shock valving is very generic which adds to the discomforting ride quality.

    Recently helped a friend install Fortune Auto 500 Series on his 95 Miata and was very impressed. They're Ohlins quality for 1/2 the cost and hand built to order! Quality is better than pretty much every coilover I've experienced. I want to get them for my 2016 Miata and do a comparison video. Sadly, I'll probably end up doing FM springs over stock Bilsteins because $$$ instead of $$$$ unless Fortune Auto decides to hook me up like they did you?

    You should have the tires on and the weight of the vehicle on the ground before tightening the coils not a huge deal but in theory the bushing is more stressed since it was torqued with the suspension at its full travel, unless your tires off the ground 🙃 when driving it will spend 99% of the time articulation up and down not just up.

    I have never used Fortune coilovers so I can't comment on them. After many years of autocrossing and owning a '94 Miata since new I have found Bilstein coilovers to be one of the best. The Fortune website says they dyno-tune all of their shocks before shipping them. If so, do they include a dyno sheet? This is very important if you autocross or track the car. The dyno sheet will tell you the performance as well as any differences between the shocks as for as tuning goes. I do like that Fortune uses a monotube shock and Swift springs, which are some of the best springs out there. And price for the set is very reasonable.

    I suggest lifting the coil-overs as high as you can and drive them for a month or so and then lowering them gradually. That way you will get a good feel for which setting is best and they will naturally drop after a while as well.

    11:55 spring preload does NOT change spring rate whatsoever. Yes it means you have to put more initial load on the spring before the spring starts to compress. But the weight of the car puts far more load on it than whatever preload you put on there. With the car's weight on the springs, the only thing that will change if you move the preload perches is the car's ride height - higher ride height if preload is increased, lower ride height if it's decreased. If you increase preload, and then shorten the shock body the same amount, ride height will be the same but you will have more compression travel, and less droop travel. And vice versa if you decrease preload and increase shock length, ride height remains the same but you will have less compression travel and more droop travel.

    Hey Gingium I would get your wheel hubs brushed. All that corrosion makes a gap between the wheel and hub and can actually cause the wheel to come lose while driving and fly off. This has happend at my job a couple of times when lazy employees don't brush them. I know if you get your tires rotated at any discount tire they should brush both the hub and the back of the wheel for any corrosion. (If you wanna make sure it's done right call the discount tire in joilet on Jefferson street and ask for Ryan to do it.)

    1.99 lol Do yourself a favor and get a nicer miata if you're gonna do really anything with it. If you're getting a car that 'just runs' do that with like a civic or something.
