vagen Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I am trying NB miata rear shocks on my RX and I will report that the NA rear shocks are shorter but NB will make a nice match for XT 2wd front struts with OE springs. I however am building a race car so Tokico illumina NA miata rear shocks will be going on these are 2 1/8" shorter than the NB shocks and have adjustable damping. I am still researching front shocks for the 4-lug suspension. I will try to add that info here as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2K4 STI Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Do you have comparison side by side pics if the rear struts and what year struts they are ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NA and NB (and NC) are Miata body style codes. years, pictures, and other info in my thread here: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=78684 I ran NA for a few months. ....until the shock rod broke. The bushing in the upper mount is a crucial piece. And I know WJM had the same issue with a different combo running without that bushing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vagen Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 (edited) I managed to solve the problem by running energy suspension sway bar bushings on the bottom with the ES washer and OE bushings on the top with the stock washer. Note: remove the metal ring on the miata shock Edited November 13, 2010 by vagen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
