Brakes & suspension ideas

G'day, I'm currently looking to beef up my suspension and brakes on my 1990 NA MX-5, wondering if anyone has any suggestions for parts, or even a workshop that could help out.

Cheers

Hi
Try and get a set of 2nd factory Bilsteins, Forum Ebay Gumtree,and NA8, or even better NB sport front brakes, save your self a lot of money
You wont need a workshop to do it, it really is basic.
Cheers
Steven

Suspension
- Budget
- Use (spirited driving, daily, track, stance, hard parking)
- Expectations (stiff, knocks teeth out, marshmallow, wallows)
- Unsprung weight
- Alignment
- Ride height
- Adjustability 2/4 way
- Sway bars
- Endlinks
- Bushes
Brakes - remember the brakes provide the torque to stop BUT the tyres provide the grip to stop
- Budget
- Use (spirited driving, daily, track, stance, hard parking)
- Expectations (dust, noise, rotor wear)
- Maintenance costs (cost of rotors, pads, rebuild kits)
