there are a bunch of quality wheels that clear the 4 pots in 15x7.

TE37 for example.

Well, I was thinking Team Dynamics Pro Race 1 (and most likely 1.2) would fit the bill.

Is this in reference to the latter camber settings? And if so, is this because the more neg camber in the rear helps with midcorner stability (med to fast) corners allowing more power to be put down?

Her mom has a Forester and drives about 15mph. Great for sake of abuse, but I could hear it now........." I couldnt react fast enough to miss the curb.." or...." I didnt think it was a big deal to drive THRU the pothole".

So she drove the Wife's SPec-B around today. Figure the spec-b is the only car we have that doesnt have R comps on it !! LOL.

So liz (wife)says....why cant we have a car without a crap load of suspension work done to it ?.......

I said" we can its called a M5.."

There are days that I miss that car ALOT, then other days when I am ok with it being gone. I think I miss the way it felt on the track with no power and able to go FLAT from turn 1 to turn 5, the flat from 6 to 10 !! ( Summit Point main) All for a 1.32 lap time with 104 whp back then. Get out and pop the hood and its a 2.2 NA with dust on it and stock manifold !! Spec Miata owners PISSED.

Should do another build using the 2012-2016 platform. I recently picked up a 15 wagon and it reminds me of my old 99L wagon. I'm planning on koni or feal struts with standard height king springs, an alignment and a couple of bushings.
