Found a screaming deal on na struts. I drive a nb. Will they work? I cant seem to find an answer with Google.

I think the spec Miata package is na on an NB if you drive an nb. I put nb shocks on my NA, just have to use the NA spring seats or coil overs. The lower spring seats are very different.

I was planning to put NB struts on a set of stock springs that I have but I just found a deal on some NA stuff, which means that I might have a set of NB springs, hats and hardware that I won't be using. You would need 4 shocks and two bumpstops to build up a set for a quick and easy install.

I have a mutt suspension setup. The car is an NA, using NB top hats, and NA spec Miata Bilsteins. I had to spend some time trimming the top end bushings on a belt sander but the end product is one that works well for autocross.

Mutt here too. NA chassis. NB shocks. NB style rear extended top hats. FM NA rear top hats...in the front. Bit of lathe work on the GC sleeves to make it all work. A variety of parts from an NB bushing kit to hold it all together. Close enough. Yes, this makes the "oooh what suspension are you running" conversation a little weird because no, I don't suggest anyone else do this. Unless you just happen to fall into all those parts like I did.

I had a set of Bilstein's off a '99 10th Anniversary Edition, but I let them go to a member on the board who no longer posts on here anymore. I got them for $100 off of a Miata parts group on Facebook. If you have a Facebook account, there's a really good one where you can score some nice deals, and a lot of the parts tend to be down in your area, Duster.

I try never to spend much time on Facebook but for cheap parts I'm willing to try again. What is the group called and how do I find it?
