Really enjoy my ss1's. If you need camber it's great setup. Tien flex As are good as well

I'm surprised nobody has asked this, but what are the exact clicks you have your coilovers set at front & rear? And what tires pressures? From other reviews I've read about the RS-R's, they can be set to ride similar to stock comfort.

If you're on a budget, I'd recommend the 17+ struts with RCE Yellow lowering springs. If you you're willing to spend a bit more, the Bilstein B6's with RCE Yellows is a popular pairing as well.

I have the 17+ struts and the Yellows on my 2013 and the the ride quality has definitely improved from stock while dropping it a little bit and giving it a nice look and better turn in.

You do lose the adjustability from a coilover but for the money, I think it's a perfect street setup.

This is an excellent setup. Ran this before I got my RCE SS1. If you need or want camber get some peddler top hats and crash bolts

Xida/949 is two piece as well, even on the Miatas the lower mount is threaded. It's not the devil and everything has some form of compromise, even $10k Penske's aren't magic.

That is incorrect. All Xidas are one piece.
Our lower mount is simply built into the cap and has a lockring so it looks similar to the Asian shocks that use an adjustable threaded adapter on a sealed cylinder. The Asian shocks are complete and sealed then they thread a separate mount adapter on the bottom. In their marketing that is a "feature".

The Xida cap is not removeable or adjustable. All one piece aluminum race shocks have a cap on the otherwise open cylinder.

If the lower cap can actually be removed without opening the shock, it's a two piece shock.
If the lower cap seals the cylinder, keeps the oil in and is not adjustable, its a one piece shock.

I prefer to call the two piece shocks "length adjustable" and one piece "non-length adjustable". If both types have threaded bodies, they have adjustable preload of course.

This is the first I've seen RSR spoken of as low end and uncomfortable...I was actually under the impression they had the reputation of having one of the softer rides due to their rubber inserts? Been trying to decide between Sport-I and the rce ss1...

RCE SS1 all the way. More travel than RSR, specialized valving and quiet camber plates.

Right on, ordered a set of ss1s earlier.
