Thanks Boosted. I get the lower CoG argument. I dont do trackdays, so I woudl not really want a car which is nailed down to a low ride height.

Standard ride height would be OK for me, but would like some decent suspension which doesnt rattle your teeth over bumps, yes feels well in control when heening round a bend.

I guess I am asking for the Holy Grail!

 

Yep trade off...looks as well..mine is standard height with bilsteins...so firm dampners with high ride height...its an ok ride bit of body roll..I was looking at progressive springs from eibach...so soft to start and firm up as they compress...then i seen this thread and waiting on progress...update...mine is abit 4x4 especially the back.....

Due to the forum being broke.. info was lost but a road set up is in development at affordable price circa 400 if my memory good...i think height adjustable but dampning and rebound set by Miester.

Yes sorry boosted, I should have been clearer. I've been following it closely and awaiting the release date which should be some time around now. So was hoping for an update. I guess they're not quite there yet.

 

Me 2... hoping release soon....looking at 200 for quality springs so 400 for these sounds great...as ill get new shocks and springs.

I was hoping there'd be more news regarding Mk3's personally. I reckon my shocks will need 'refreshing' soon and this would have been the perfect option for me.

Alas, it is not (currently).

 

I thought they were ready. Give Skuzzle as a buzz as he was helping develop them.

 

We are looking at stock arriving next week.

This will be the first production run.

Once we have everything checks over, I will put up the details.

Looking forward to hearing the views of those that have fitted them. Going to order some myself, but just bought a new Motorbike so will now have to wait for a short while.

 

My set arrived yesterday (24 hours after placing the order!!) and will be fitted early next week.

Excited.

How do they look Roddy.. still waiting on mine.

 

Not actually seen mine in the flesh yet as I had them sent directly to our local MX5 expert who is going to fit them for me. Will give you an update in a few days.

A quick update - They look good and very well engineered. Had them fitted professionally this afternoon and it took just on two hours. They llo even better on the car. Cannot compare to an OEM setup as my Eunos had some strange "Rock Hard" coilovers fitted before it left Japan but that said the ride with the "Sportives" is excellent. Firm yet still very reactive to the changing road surface. The steering is very responsive and the general road holding superb.

Can highly recommend.

Rod.

Thanks for the update Roddy.. good to here your happy with them. Mine arrived yesterday, I will be fitting then myself as soon as I get a dry day.

 

Anyone know if there is a plan to produce these for NC's? I'd be well up for a set if so.

Sorry, no plan for the NC at the moment.

The NC rear top mount pose a difficult challenge.

I am looking into it, but nothing soon for sure.

Hi,

I have a couple of questions. I think the Sportive Coilovers are the way to go for me. I am looking for something that is ready to go from the box and does replace tired old shocks and springs.

1. Do you have any rough estimate on how long is the expected lifetime of the coilovers on mostly street use on not that perfect pavement?

2. Is there a possibility for the shocks to be rebuild?

3. Since my car is going for it's winter sleep in a months time and I am eager to get the suspension sorted before. Would you recommend against having everything installed and than leaving the car in storage for 3-4 moths? Would it be better to put the car on axle stands, or to do it next spring? Not really sure what's best and if I am overcomplicating my life as usual.

4. What is the usual shipping time to Slovenia?

Thank you.

 

So any updates/ reviews on these? Keen to hear some feedback now some people have been running them for a while.

 

Sorry to ask a noob question here but the rear top mounts being extended, is this so that there's more travel in the rear, same reason as some people put mk2 top mounts on a mk1?

Correct.

You use the extended top mount to optimise compression travel at a certain ride height.

It is the same reason as people putting NB top mount on MK1.

In the Sportive case, it is extended further than what the OEM NB top mount goes to.

That is one way to get the ride height we want along with the compliant ride quality we are after.

Because bouncing on the bump stop all the time is just no fun.

Someone must be using these now and want to write a review, perhaps with some pictures?
