yeah, ive had plenty of time in that camp, im ready to try out the dark side, and am looking at this as my vessel. ive definitely come to feel gobs of grip is no fun unless youve got even MORE GOBS of power, which the FT86 thus far doesnt seem to be packing

It's an interesting endless debate in the Miata world. The OEM susension is fun to slide around for some people, but adding grip and making it faster is at a loss of this, and some people don't like this. It is pretty much 'pick your favorite and follow it'.

very interesting, this is what i was hoping to get at. so most people stick with oem suspension for sliding around? i would have thought switching to something a bit stiffer and maybe more even spring rates f/r would be one of the first steps.. sorry just a noob to that world

To me, steering feedback is more important than whether it has excellent grip or insanely excellent grip. That the FT86's steering is reportedly awesome even with "Prius" tires makes me a happy camper.

couldnt have said it better
maybe star specs in the front, prius tires in the rear?
