2016–2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata Suspension & Handling FAQ's

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

What coilover spring rates work for a dual‑purpose ND?

Common street/track rates: ~6–8 kg/mm front and ~4–6 kg/mm rear with digressive damping. Add front camber (‑2.0°+) on 200‑TW tires to protect shoulders.

Do sway bars reduce body roll without ruining ride?

Moderate bars control roll; avoid overly stiff fronts that induce push. Balance with alignment and rebound settings for bumpy roads.

Should I add camber plates/top mounts on an ND?

Yes—front camber is limited from factory. Plates enable proper camber for grip and tire wear, especially with 17×9 wheels and wider rubber.
