Koni yellow shocks and struts, neuspeed lowering springs, and GLI front and rear discs w/ECS braided lines... the car rides and drives beautifully now!
Koni Heavy Track Raid but just be sat down when you look at the price
On our 2014 Mini Cooper S Roadster we installed these Koni’s just a couple of months ago. Ride is much smoother without loosing any steering feel. Speed bumps are much less of a problem now.
Rancho RS5000X shocks are a great affordable replacement that ride well, just paint the shock bodies to make them last longer and remove the sleeve they put over the shaft.
I got Koni Oranges with Vogtland springs on the MK5 Rabbit.
A set of rancho 9000. The adjustment actually works and you can tell a difference. Probably best bang for your buck.
B6 or similar (forget the Koni equal) would be a huge step forward.
Took her out on the HWY for an extended drive thrashing. Its a totally diff car now! Has great road feel while cruising but much more solid handling and tracking at higher speeds that before would get sloppy and concerning. even at almost triple digits it was poised and confidence inspiring. Also comfortable! Can't stress this enough they wont ruin the ride like normal stiffer shocks. The Koni SA's really polish the Miata's suspension to give a great ride and expand the performance envelope! Just what the Miata needs to make it a great car. I am very happy with them.
I ended up going with Koni FSDs again along with matching Eibach springs. Tirerack still sold them as a matched kit. Ride height looks to be the same, although ride quality seems a bit harsher. I think these springs have a different spring rate than the stock ones, even though most people thought that the factory springs were Eibach. It's not bad, but I definitely feel every bump in the road.
I haven't really been impressed with the RS500x. Better than Rough Country but not by much.
