August 3rd: Tech meet/Super Cruise

[tsx_guy]

Where is my invite. Sometimes I think _guy is right about you (db).

sometimes? I didn't get one either, but as state before, I'm busy this weekend.

[kingtut]

They don't call me resident db for nothin'...

Had a grand old time at Huzer's. I was zero help, but enjoyed watching others get their hands dirty. Thanks again for hosting and providing such a delectable spread. Your dip will go down in history...

Shadow and I owned I-25...owned it.

[Huzer]

Thanks to all for stopping by and lending a hand. It feels good to finally have a functioning suspension. The Super Cruise was cool, then it got windy/dusty, and finally, it rained. Torrential downpour n the drive home, but no leaks and the Miata did great. Looking forward to (hopefully) more tech days and get togethers in the future.

Before and after shots?

Did you measure up height difference when you got home from Golden?

We need to do a real drive sometime. Early morning cruise up golden gate canyon and past mt evans. Mrs tut would like it based on what I know.

I haven't measured yet. I know my before, though. I'll snap a few more pics this afternoon and post some up from yesterday as well.

Are you suggesting another 4way? I'd consider it, based on what I know of you and <> . You do realize that food needs to be involved...

[Huzer]

Shocks, prior to anything:



Damnit, I missed it. Thanks Shadow, for reassembling this one while I tackled one side of the rear.





tut, hard at work.



Before:



After (ultimately, about a 1.5" drop all around):

[Shadowden]

Looks great miT. It looks like a perfect functional drop. How long till you go in for an alignment? Didn't look like camber was super (-).

Would be curious to see how it felt with the tires right at the fenders though. Probably another inch, which would require camber plates or adjustable camber arms.

Morrison restaurants or rox off ken caryl would be ideal;)

[Huzer]

We've been known to frequent the Morrison Inn...

Super jelly. How much did the whole set cost you? I really want mine lowered again but I want to do it right and not with ebay coilovers like last time.

The rear camber gets out of hand pretty quick when you go real low. When I had coilovers on and the rear tires were at the fenders it was like 7 degrees of camber or something crazy.

Thanks for putting on the meet, the food was great.

The miata rides great now.

I'm into the suspension about $700 (including shipping/etc). I've scoured the classifieds for used bits where I could (shocks from Rob, mounts, springs).
