New front bumper? Did you have an accident?
I've been doing research on some suspension upgrades for the Miata. NC1 suspension is very soft, has tons of body roll and also has a large wheel gap. A proper coilover or spring+shock/strut kit, plus install, is quite costly. Limited options in Canada too.
Been there done that. Had an NC ,lowered it with Mazdaspeed springs. You will scrape on everything. You could start with better sway bars.
Yes it is pricey here in Canada. The worse thing I found with the NC was the bump steer in the turns.
Same experience here. I found my NC to be too roly-poly and the wheel gap too unsightly, so i went for the Mazdaspeed springs. They did solve both my wishes, but as Seafoam said, I had to be very careful to not scrape the belly on speed bumps after that. Would I do it again in the same scenario? Yeah, probably.
