Recent threads over at Roadfly about shipping blocks left by vehicle prep got me thinking about replacing/upgrading the rear spring bumpstops to give things a little more progressive spring rate at the limits and a bit earlier influence. I was thinking of H&R/Bilstein set up but since my car is mainly for touring (may get a kart to appease racing bug) I don't want to sacrifice ride quality too much.
The rear spring have rather feeble looking bumpstops on them. How are they mounted? I have found several off-road bumpstops that are pre-threaded and was wondering if these are similar to those on our coupes. http://www.suspension.com/Bumpstop.htm
Looks like this could be a quick and painless suspension upgrade to prevent rear coil binding and makes things a little more forgiving.
FYI, I have found that the Miata relies heavily on bumpstops as a means to give smooth ride and progressive feel.
