Shocks for NB Miata

Post by Max Guijarro »

So I've been doing some online reading to help me decide on what shocks I should get for my '01 Miata. For now it's between the Koni Sports and Bilstein HD and I'm having trouble deciding on one over the other. I don't have any aftermarket parts on my car, but I do plan to switch over to STR in about 2 years. Can anyone give me any opinions or advice on this?

I guess I'll add another question on top of this question. Are koni yellows legal in ES? I've read about the adjustable spring perch possibly making them illegal in ES and I just wanted to see if that was true or not.

As long as you leave them on the highest perch you should be fine. Koni Sports are the staple of Street/Stock dampers.
