[MX5 Mk3 Sport sounds clunky]

Thanks for the info guys.

 

I don't want the suspension to be any stiffer and since I use the car daily for commuting and don't do any track days it sounds like BCR coilovers aren't for me. 

 

 

Tony:

Are you able to give me a price to fit OEM shocks/springs and do a GEO check?

 

Thanks

Hi Tony,

 

Thanks again for your reply. Unfortunately oils/coils/non-OEM dampers - it's all a bit over my head! :-)

 

I just want the car to feel the same way that it did when new - not harder or softer. Is that possible?

 

Thanks

Hello

At 75k the shocks are considered as job done. The recognized mileage is around 60k so the problem now is you cannot just change the coils because the dampers won't be able to control the rebound. Changing the coils and oils for OEM is very expensive so most turn to adjustable coilovers where you have control over everything.

 

Hi Tony,

 

Thanks for the info.

 

So to fix my problem would you say that I need to replace the shocks? Do you have a ballpark figure that WIM would charge for that?

 

Cheers

Hello,

 

Hope someone can help?

 

I've had my MX-5 MK3 2.0 sport for around eight years and it has covered 75k miles. When I drive along the road it feels much more 'clunky' going over bumps and potholes in the road than it used to do a few years ago. It doesn't particularly feel like anything is broken, but I definitely feel more bumps than I used to.

 

Is there anything that I can do to make the car's suspension feel 'newer' again? 

 

I've read about the geo-check and coilovers that WIM can do - would this bring a new lease of life back to my car? Or could it be that new shock-absorbers are needed?? 

 

I still like the car but I'm not sure if its just showing its age and maybe I should upgrade to a newer model?

 

 

Thanks in advance
