Walk us through your Miata

Nic! Love your car, glad you shot a walk-around. You'll love the Xidas; what spring rates did you end up getting after we talked?

@Roadster7, that exhaust sounds great.

Thanks! Unfortunately, this microphone condenses the sound a good amount, so the exhaust note sounds flatter than it actually is.

I ended up going with the 550/350. I'm still not extremely confident in my decision, but I can always upgrade later.

I test drive others but landed in the 550/350. On the softest setting they’re still compliant for LA’s poor roads and on the stiffest more than I need. I know ok track the higher rates would probably deliver more but for dual purpose these are perfect for me.

I would say the EXACT same thing. The only time I wish I had more rate is at some unusual corners on the track. Nothing I can't manage as is though, excellent around town.

Yep, pretty much my experience as well. 550/350 is ideal for street use and is more than capable for track days. I only bumped up to 700/400 due to a couple of corners at Carolina Motorsports Park. Maybe that isn't a good idea but I haven't done any events with the new rates to know.

Sorry for derailing the thread.

More walk-arounds please.
