no sir. I have a white miata and I am hopefully going to autox it for the first time in june.
I guess I should get a pic of it up...maybe after i get the coilovers in
and I already ordered the coilovers for an NB from raceland cuz thats all they have in stock for a while it seems, so im just looking for NB top mounts, without paying for super fancy high tech upgrade NB mounts, i just need stock NB mounts
(I own a NA miata if that was causing confusion)

Get those NB top hats, washer, rubbers, from finishlineperformance.com. I would get the big racing beat hollow bar on the front. Once you have 2 autox's under your belt sign up for mazdamotorsports.com for cheap parts. Honestly I would run nb front hats and isc rear hats. Those racelands with a big front bar will do you great for your first season.

ahhh well I'm just talking about cheap Chinese ground control rip offs. I should have been clearer.

I've been reading through that thread the past couple of days... I think I'm going to give it a shot with a set of Bilsteins.
Was that link provided the same kit you used for your setup? I read that some of the kits are way too short - I just want to grab the right one.
My plan was the same as yours - try them out then upgrade to the longer spring in the future. I'll probably buy the Spec Miata bump/mount kit that FCM sells to go with it.

They use to sell an OBX NA kit as well but dropped it. It had slightly stiffer springs but they were also an inch shorter front and rear. The sleeves were the same as far as i can tell.
