TEIN Street Advance Coilovers for the Miata
TEIN Street Advance Coilovers are great for daily or spirited Miata driving. Made in Japan under strict quality control standards and developed by highly trained suspension engineers..
As per TEIN website, the Street Advance damper is the evolution of their popular Super Street coilover. Developed to provide a sporty ride feeling and aggressive stance, along with wide-range damping force adjustment using their new Advance Needle technology, giving the driver a much more noticeable feel in damping force change. The shortened shell case design provides optimum damper stroke at lower than standard MX-5 ride height. Your Miata ride height is adjustable via the ZT coated threaded sleeve. Updated internal components and external coatings increase durability and coilover life.

BC Racing BR Series Coilovers for the Miata MX-5
The BC Racing BR Series Coilovers are suitable for street driving and occasional road course duty. With a fully threaded cartridge design, the BR Series have easily accessible compression/rebound addjustment knobs for 30 way ride heights. The kit come with pillowball mounts to provide the most feedback possible from the suspension and to sharpen the already excellent steering response of the Miata. As per BC Racing website, the BR series coilovers use a large 46mm diameter piston in a 53mm diameter damper body to maximise oil capacity. As the damper unit operates the oil contained within heats up. The viscosity of oil changes as its temperature varies which can lead to changes in the damping characteristics of the unit..

Mono-tube shock design
Full height adjustability through shock body, not spring
30 levels of damping force adjustment (compression/rebound)
Pillowball mounts and adjustable camber plates included (where applicable)
