Zenshin Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Could anyone suggest some initial settings for a set of GGP for an MX5 NA (using NB dampers/mounts)? Aiming for a pothole sympathetic height and damping without turning it into a 4x4! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 What's your intentions for the drive, road, fast road, track? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenshin Posted June 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Thank for the fast reply Tony, fast-road without it being overly harsh. I had a standard ZS a while back which I found was pretty much the right balance for me in terms of ride, I know it's talking apples and oranges compared to a 20 year old MX5 though!

Tony Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 First thing to do is set the ride height, 345mm measured here   Front and rear with a level rake...... The aim is to have the lower wishbones horizontal to maintain a perfect roll centre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S2IM Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 What is the perfect ride height on mX5's to keep the wishbones level? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Or just visually look at the lower wishbone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S2IM Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Maybe the picture confused me as its a mk3 shown Adam. Are the mk1/2/3 all the same for the height recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Yes..... Solid beam/ axle are a different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
