I am selling my old fatcat bilsteins. They were built for E-stock competition, use R-Package springs, and the damping is aggressive in order to control the car on soft springs. The PO who had them built had some success on them. With the damping they ride pretty harsh on the street- I did not like this suspension but YMMV. Also, if you have seen my car at auto-x it sat higher than normal. I think that was to help keep the car off of the bump stops. Maybe they will make good rally-x shocks? $500 for tarheel folks.

Also, I have a complete set of control arms for an NA. The bushings in them are all dead (100k rubber). No rust and they are straight. Also, the ball joints on the front uppers feel smooth with no play. $100 for the front $50 for the back.

I'll take the control arms. I need something to put on the car to roll it into the dumpster. That's $150 for the full set right?

e: Nevermind, I just realized I'm spending $150 to save about the same's worth of bushings.

There are bushings in the control arms, they are just in terrible shape.

Why is a Miata going to the dumpster?

Undefined electrical issue that I'm tired of trying to fix. Especially since it can only be reproduced on track, so each verification wastes a weekend day and a whole lot of $$.
