    Looks fantastic.. congrats on all the new upgrades and feels!!! I'd echo the point on roadforce balancing. That and framerails seem to have finally address my 65mpg shimmy.

    This is actually one of the first things I had done to this Miata when I got it! Just realized that I hadn't added it to my list of completed stuff. Need to remember to do that for the next update coming soon...

    Thank you! Yes definitely, frame rails and fender braces are on the list of things I need to buy next. The 65mph shimmy is amusing but annoying nevertheless.

    Which fender brace and frame rails do you have? I had the Garagestar frame rails on my previous Miata but they seem to have gone out of business or something so I've been looking at the V8 roadster for both fender brace and framerails or maybe the Paco Strong Arms

    Garagestar for the rails but yeah, unclear how they come out of this transition. If I were needing them now I’d also look at FM because of the cross bracing (as long as it doesn’t lower the scraping point ;). V8 make lovely products. I wanted to use their control arms but poly bushings was the only option.

    And fender braces, I don’t have any… . Yet?
