Shock absorbers Rancho or KONI
Koni yellow is the absolute best oem replacement shocks
I was the 1st person install Koni SA shocks on a NA Miata. They have adaptive valving. Made my 96 handle live a Maserati. Awesome shock for The Miata. Sticks like a Geco!!!! Rides like a dream
I’m currently running koni yellows. I don’t have experience with any others but these have treated me well with a 2” lowering spring on my daily. I would suggest them for a mid/entry level shock with some level of adjustability
I had Koni yellows and loved them. Lifetime warranty too.
If you have a small budget HR sports and Konis are far better than coilovers on the low end. You won’t be super low busy it will handle and ride nice.
On the road, these Koni’s ride amazingly well. They compress and rebound faster than the stock dampers. Subjectively, this helps soak up road imperfections, but returns the tire to the road surface more quickly. This helps eliminate head toss and vibration through the chassis. Additionally, the FSD technology allows for softer compression under high frequency (large/harsh) impacts. This nets in a smooth ride over rough road conditions, but the composed and sporty handling is not compromised either. The ride feels significantly more premium.
Rancho has some adjustable shocks I’ve had on my CJ work great
I did the Konis with the BMR SP009 springs, and while firm, the ride is comfortable and compliant.
Now I have koni yellows and h&r race springs. Ride is pretty close to stock but now it's too low.
Those factory Ranchos are terrible. They are stiff as heck.
