Mazda Miata (ND) coilovers by ST suspensions: Unadulterated road holding in a roadster
The Miata ND (Mazda MX-5 ND) is the last true purist sports car. Hardly any other car conveys the authentic feeling of roadster freedom on the road. Weighing around 1.000 kg, it has rear-wheel drive and balanced handling that conveys light-footedness and agility. However, we believe there is still untapped potential. It's time for a coilover suspension from ST!
Series
The Miata ND offers a lot of driving pleasure right out of the box. Its light weight and rear-wheel drive ensure agile, neutral handling. Nevertheless, you can tell that the standard suspension is very soft for a sporty roadster. The vehicle sways in corners and feels unstable, especially at high speed damper stimulation.
ST X
The ST X is your direct entry into the world of balanced driving dynamics. You get sporty lowering combined with a damper characteristic that brings more precision into play. Body roll in bends is now history. Your MX-5 (ND) with ST X suspension sits firmly on the road, has noticeably more grip and still has sufficient residual comfort.
Available coilover kits for the MX-5 (NA & NB)
Height adjustable
Adjustment of the maximum lowering according to the parts certificate via an infinitely variable adjustment range.
Composite spring perch
Adjustable spring plates made of polyamide composite material with stainless steel insert prevent corrosion on the suspension strut and ensure permanent height adjustability.
Galvanised strut housing
Galvanised and multi-sealed steel strut housing for optimised corrosion protection.
Dust protection and bump stop
Dirt particles and spray water can no longer penetrate to the piston rod seal package of the coilover suspension. The bump stop is used as an additional spring element when the suspension is subject to heavy loads.
