Updates anyone?

I'm looking forward to this. A miata vet gave me some numbers for how to set my coilovers when I install them, and some alignment numbers to hit. I haven't had the time to get them in yet, but I own a 94, which I replicated in Forza (don't laugh, it's a *decent* simulator) and drove with what I THOUGHT were good settings, then his, and shaved nearly a second or more off of laps, and at the limit, the exits were SO much better. For the NA miata, he recommended running NO or stock rear sway bar, which sounded weird, but he stands by it for lower powered miatas and claims that if springs and dampers are adjusted correctly, all will be well, and Forza said he was right. Anyhow, I'm trying to read this, but to even understand this thread, will take me months of research and learning. Regardless-
I am curious what the "ideal" setup will be. I'm not going to be buying suspension till I get the advice here that I've had in the Miata community. People smarter than me helping me out haha. Thanks a ton everyone. I'll learn what I can and try and contribute eventually....
