looks at all the threaded adjustments on that thing, the alignment readings alone, much less testing for predicable bump steer, etc would be a PITA...esspecially since the gemoetryies and ride highet, etc for the track versus street would be quite different..

They make computer programs from $200 that can predict bump steer and camber gain and such. I would love a fully adjustable double wishbone suspension and the tools to fully utilize it. Yeah, it would be a PITA, but it would be well worth it when you were done. I would street it :ylsuper .

Ohh, and those arms look like something from SPL. Adjusting SPL parts to the correct geometry on a Nissan would also probably be a PITA.

But yeah, I definatly see what you're saying.

Must be inboard shocks on that also, they must have cut out the strut tower. Wicked ****.

meh, with the spl or tanabe, cusco, etc parts, you can adjust them into factory alignment or factory length...

that miata has change its suspension system, thusly changing..well..everything, camber gain, etc...

i see a long rod going to the front lower wishbone..maybe thats the extention of the damper/spring assembly.-chet

Miatas have double wishbone suspension at all four wheels stock. How is it changed?
