Technical Area Steering & Suspension

  1. My model of MX-5 is: NB Mk2
  2. I’m based near: Manchester
  3. I’m looking for technical help or recommendations on: Suspension Damper Upgrade.
  4. Three years ago I rebuilt all 4 corners of my 1999 NB with new upper & Lower wishbones running OEM Bushes, new springs and new dampers. I then hsd the car all wheel aligned.
  5. Would I see any benefit from fitting upgraded dampers such as Meister Rs?
  6. Thoughts Please.
  7. Thanks Regards Nic

Depends on how many miles you have put on in 3 years. But probably, you won’t see that much of a benefit.

I had my 22 year old NBFL suspension similarly refreshed with all OEM parts over the winter and after half a dozen sprints a hillclimb and half a dozen laps of the Nurburgring plus 7 or 8k on the road I am wondering about upgrades to the drivers seat to get it lower without compromising 1000 mile a day comfort so that I can consider fitting a roll bar necessary to run a modified car in competion , then upgrades to the suspension, brakes and engine.

Regarding the suspension you might find post 3 on this link interesting, Meister R’s seem to come out well in the eyes of some one who knows and has exprience of using a whole range of shocks ;- Who is running Meister R coilovers?
