First post.

Going to build a 99 Miata.

My friend has a 90-93 Spec Miata suspension in the box that I could have.

What is the difference in the model years' suspensions? 

I see that they have 3 different part numbers.

Thanks,

Jim

If you're referring to the Mazda Spring/Shock/Sway bar kit, then the springs and shocks are all the same for all model years.  Rear sway bars are also the same.  Front sway bar for '99 is a different bar than what's in the '90-'93 kit.

Thanks. That's what I wanted to know. So all I have to do is source a front sway bar, and I can use that kit.

One question down, and 999 more to go.

What Tom said.

 

Buy the book, it will answer 950 of your questions. Including this one.

NOLA is sort of a home track for me; I have done NASA and PCA HPDE's there with my DD/DE car.

I'm going to go to NOLA March 7,8 to see how you big boys do things, and take pictures.

Hope to learn lots of stuff.

ps: Dave W. I bought the book before I bought the donor car. Just have to read it more carefully!
