I swap out the factory front struts on this Mazda MX5 Miata for a set of Koni Adjustables and also swap out the front sway bar for something a little more beefy

Except it's not a strut. It's a coil over shock. A strut takes the place of the upper control arm. Plus a strut doesn't have to have a spring mounted on it. Example, the fox body cars have front struts with no springs on them. Why does everyone think a strut is any damper with a spring on it?

A lot of the ball joints coming from China don't use a cotter pin to secure the nut. They just use a cheap nylon insert and it fails causing your ball joint to pop out when your doing 70mph losing control of your vehicle. Those Chinese must really hate us.

It's kind of amazing how lower profile tires. stiffer anti-sway bars and stiffer springs can change the handling on these little rear wheel drive cars. I'm doing something similar to my Bertone X1/9 right now.

I love the shot at 28: 52 where the whole picture seems to twist because you are raising the lift and the wheel is dropping down to the unsupported position. I almost got dizzy. I think I saw tracers.

Flyin Miata!
Grand Junction, Colorado based company. They would modify Miatas with Vette motors and have the dealership I worked at do the programming. Saw a bunch of cool rides!

Someone spends too much time on the Miata forums. Hey bro, you should put Koni adjustable coil-over struts and a big sway bar on there. Adds 20hp at the wheels, dude!

Eric, it is really hard to hear you when you are describing the job. The air tools are loud enough. Have you just lost your daddy parts being around ladies all day? Lol.

The Miata. Much more boring than people say. Violently under powered and smaller than a lawnmower. About as fun. But lucky tastes are different! Still a fun video!

This is why I hate customers. You change the sway bar but reuse the links and bushings. That's like buying a brand new car but put smoked tires on it just why
