Doing these on my acr neon made a day and night difference and made a car hook on the street in 3rd that used to spin in 5th on the same tires. A flat floor let me hook in 2nd with a big diffuser and splitter. Nothing fancy either it was all pretty simple. Math says at 50mph were seeing 200lb of suck on the nose without increasing drag and actually reducing it.
oh yeah those spherical bearings should help, and hopefully those set screws will work. I'm surprised they don't recommend a weld in sleeve or something...set screws seem like an issue, like you mentioned I'm going to guess that you'll need a totally different rear suspension, iirc those xidas don't have proper dampening or springs or travel for what you are doing. Definitely being at full soft will improve your launch grip. Nice job addressing those issues!
If you block off your iac plate and set it with the idol screw it should never dip assuming your not using the iac if you are using the iac use a closed loop idol strategy I tune a lot of Miata’s on megasquirt but your in a different league of fast and I love seeing your videos :)
Great work, always developing and tinkering
Yeap! I want to get the car into the 5's and be reliable.

Good information. I need to focus on downforce, reducing lift, and drag.

Thanks! Don't worry, new suspension is on the shortlist!
