Yeah like Tcoat said there must have been something done incorrectly with that TRD spring install. They aren’t a very aggressive spring rate at all. You lose some ground clearance but that’s about it. Shouldn’t be hitting the bump stops all the time.

So far the Hakone is the only one that lasted at stock height for more than a week. Damn covid.

I’m jealous you got the Hakone edition. It’s gorgeous!

That can be easily fixed! Otherwise it’s perfect.

Probably more of a shock from having a stiffer spring. The 17 suspension is pretty darn comfortable for what it is.
I easily noticed the stiffness going RCE yellow over the factory MY17 86 spring. Much better road feel. Downside on bumpy/wavy roads you feel every bit of it through your ass. The factory springs soak up some of the small stuff a bit better.

I have only hit the bump spots a couple of times but god damn it's pretty jarring.

I have a NA8 Miata with 700/400 coilovers, there was no shock.



The tS's suspension and handling is night and day compared to the Hakone with TRD sways/TRD springs.


all is good. Wife didn't yell at me the whole 500 mile drive home!
