Ridetech is pleased to announce the expansion of their popular HQ coil-over lineup to include the 2006-2015 (NC) Mazda Miata.
Ridetech continues to add to their already impressive line-up of performance suspension systems for late model performance cars and trucks. The majority of those have stayed within the traditional brand focus and include popular domestic marks such as the Camaro, Mustang, and Challenger/Charger.
And while each are great driver’s cars, 400+ horsepower and 8 cylinders on tap is certainly not a prerequisite for enjoying a spirited drive on a favorite backcountry road, or a weekend autocross or track day.
Mazda Miatas, particularly in the “Spec Miata” competition configuration, are the most commonly campaigned vehicle by amateur racers on tracks around the world on any given weekend. And if you’ve ever taken the time to drive or ride in one, it’s easy to see why. The popular Formula One Lotus car builder Colin Chapman is often remembered for his mantra of “Simplify. Then add lightness.” The Miata has both of those characteristics in spades.
Ridetech’s HQ series coil-overs further improve the handling capabilities of the third generation Miata, offering a digressive valve package that inspires confidence and encourages you to drive harder into each turn. Fox Factory ride height and rebound adjustable monotube coil-overs reduce weight while ratcheting up the performance potential for whoever hops behind the wheel.
Ridetech recommends setting the adjustable coil-overs at at a front ride height of 12.75” and 13” in the rear. This equates to a 1.5” front height reduction and 1.375” out back. Selected spring rates are 575 lbs./inch in front and 350 lbs./inch in back.
