One of the first steps that can be taken to improve the handling characteristics of a Miata is the addition of a larger front sway bar and a set of performance lowering springs. Racing Beat has incorporated 30 years of racing experience in the design of their suspension products. All of their suspension components are designed by Racing Beat exclusively for the Miata and will improve the handling of your Miata dramatically.
Body roll occurs when one side of the Miata suspension is compressed (referred to as jounce ), while the other side extends (referred to as rebound ). The use of larger diameter Miata sway bars limits the body-roll of the Miata by making it harder for the driver-side and passenger-side suspensions to move in opposite directions.
Another method used to achieve less body roll is through the use of stiffer Miata suspension springs. A stiffer Racing Beat spring will compress less than the stock Miata spring when subjected to the equal amount of cornering force. Less compression on the outside edge of the Miata results in less body roll. (To fully optimize the performance capabilities of these springs, we suggest that you consider replacing your stock shocks with a set of performance shocks...Koni are our first choice).
This Racing Beat Miata Suspension Kit is a great combination for street, autocross, and track days that ups the sporty handling but still gives a very pleasing ride. All four "street" Miata springs are matched with front and rear Miata sway bars from Racing Beat at a great package price that saves you off the retail price.
