Targa Miata
MIATA BUILD
March 18, 2010 - More thoughts on the dual spring suspension - this is interesting.
Just for fun, I pitched the car into a couple of the right angle bends on the way in to work. I figured I'd dance with the tail a bit. Now, I haven't been behind the wheel of this car for a while but I've been driving a number of other Miatas. And the car seemed to grip much harder than it should. We have another car at Flyin' Miata right now running a completely different dual-spring setup, and it's showing similar characteristics. Mechanical grip seems to be way up there.
It's going to take more investigation, but I am quietly optimistic. We'll see what happens on the track in a few weeks. Will I go back to the stiff single springs, or keep this dual setup?
