So, it seems that they are sold out. At least near as I can tell on Google. 

Are they? 

There seems to be some brand called circuit sports that are in stock on sketchy web stores. Are these any good?

Anyone got used ones?

Did you try Miatacage.com? I looked at Flyin' Miata and they're sold out.

5x is out of stock. Miatacage shows them, but they are $50 higher than everyone else...

The manufacturer - Bauer LTD - ran out a while back. Hopefully they've been able to replenish their stock. We are expecting ours any day now according to the notes in our system but I don't have any other information.

I cannot speak to the quality of the knocked off alternatives on the market, but the failure mode is a bad one so I'd wait until known quality units are available.

It's like there's a lesson in capitalism here :)

Yup! Supply and demand is a mofo at times. Usually when its NOT in my favor!laugh

Ill skip the knockoffs. Didn't even think that these would be knocked off, honestly. Ill hold out for baur.

Note that these are legal and used in Spec Miata, so you may want to reach out to local SM builders and see if they have some in their stash.

I was just about to place an order for these from Paco Motorsports which doesn't indicate they are not in stock.

Whoops, spoke too soon. "Available on backorder" seems like an oxymoron but I'm assuming it means they don't have any.

How much do these lower the pivot point?

They move it outboard for more camber.

FYI, we apparently have a big shipment on the way here right now which means that we will have them in stock within a week - fingers crossed. I expect that's the case for other vendors as well. The logjam may be about to break.
