Close but think the right hander in the lower right corner of the pic. Keep in mind my poor little 85HP wonder could go another 5-7 MPH in turn 1 at LVMS but it is accelerating all the way through. In the Showroom Stock Miata I was alwas near 100 and the D-sports Racer was around 110. Even as slow as my 1200 is if you drove it on the limit ,of the particular set-up we're discussing, on the street you would find yourself in jail for the night.

ok, the really big radius one.

I'd say the big problem there especially on the highway is the way the road slabs are all stepped from big trucks.

or sometimes weird scalloping in the road bed causes end - to end weirdness, but that was on the b11.

i'm really looking forward to my new setup.

you must have really strong hands and arms from driving that 1200 in races.

Me strong , ah no.....I'm 5 7" and 143lbs. I drive with the pedals I.E. thorttle steer and trail brake to make the car rotate. I always thought the steering effort in a 1200 was fairly low. I only do the Nordic track thing to keep in shape but that seems to be enough. My grip strenght is actually kind of screwed up from my motorcycle racing days , I broke both thumbs and never had them looked at.

Ok both front or rear 240Z springs will fit . go with the REARS first as they are a little softer. If need be use the fronts. Get blocks to do 1.5 and 2 inch. install the 240z springs in the front then see how much that lowers the car.....then lower the rear the same amount. I think you will end up using a 2" inch block.

as far as i know when your cutting oreigional vehicle springs, 1-4 of a coil equals 1 in drop. or maybee 1/2.
im pretty sure the 240z's springs are a bit longer than the b210's so your probly right on the money in saying to cut one full coil out.
