The ND-chassis Mazda MX-5 still has that new-car smell, but owners and tuners are already tearing into them. Good-Win Racing’s Brian Goodwin has already started the development process, so we posed a simple question: What are the three most important modifications to make? He gave us two separate lists, one for street and autocross, and another for track.
Wow, that's an old article.
How about a set-up that's street focused and not autocross focused? Like, say, the Dekker package?
- maintain lots of travel (often overlooked by suspension designers)
- use a spring rate that is well matched to your ride height
- good damping, not overdamped
- let it move
- season with sway bar to taste
Those are the key factors to making an ND work :) The Dekker Package is a good all-around setup that works on cross-country drives as well as on the track. Does pretty well on autox too. Basically, the Dekker Package is the Fox Stage 2 setup from FM.
