Yeah and this time it should be instructive to know how his new KW racing suspension works 😎

I can't wait to see how the suspension is I'll fine out on 10th April when I do a track day on uk. On the road it's harsh but maybe I need to soften it.

Good going

I like the strut bar and just looked this up on the Wiechers site and it's at a good price too. I may go for this soon

How is it on the rear? Any pics available?

By the way how do you like the Kmac bushes? Any noise with them? I have a full set (front and rear) but never have gotten round fitting them...

Ta for all the answers

I don't hate rear brace as the roll cage dose the job

The k mac bushes make a small noise when cold but I really like them

I appreciate you sharing all of this with us. I've really enjoyed following it and am looking forward to the 2017 video. I'm in the process of building up a Miata for track days and can't imagine doing it without the plethora of aftermarket options that happen to be available on that platform. You are most certainly trail blazing and I have to wipe the drool up every time that you post pictures.

Those "Carbotech" are great performance pads,

"better stop power/dust free/very good heat resistant",,

i got their front pads for my friend's C63, #: "CT 1291", three years ago..

Some pads can be very hard on the discs/rotors

Some pads are not compatible with the cast Rotors, due to the bad quality of the carbon or aggressive compounds of ceramic's that uses in,,

you can use good quality carbon/ceramic pads with cast Rotors..

front splitter

Hi all I've made a front splitter out of ply wood.
Did a track day on Monday the new suspension
was really great the cars transition in and out of
corner make it more controllable

Great solution and very nicely done, but that can only fit on a non AMG front bumper...
