Short Version:

Overall a solid product with great potential, when configured right they work pretty darn good.

Getting these setup right however is no easy task. These are unfortunately plagued by incorrect spring rates, sparse install and configuration notes, and minimal community adaptation to fill in the blanks. A few design choices are also difficult to work with and can cause issues.

This page will hopefully continue to serve as a place where I can keep track of the current modifcations done to the Miata. Some modifications and work were performed to the vehicle prior to my ownership, and I will update to include that information as soon as I discover them.

Per my review of various upgrade brake options on the market for the C5, the option that stood out the most was utilizing the Cadillac Brembo 4 piston calipers with 14" C6Z06 calipers on the front.

This page will be used to capture links and reference documents/images so as I can find it later and/or other folks may benefit from it.

I purchased some Hood Louvers for my 1999 C5 Corvette after watching a variety of youtube videos all claiming it helped with cooling. My goal first and foremost with the Corvette was to keep it cool. As an added bonus, the louvers looked REALLY friggen good on the Corvette, so I was all about installing them.

The C5 corvette came to me stock. Painfully stock, as in still had a tape deck in it stock. A lot of basics had to go or be sorted out to improve the drive quality in general. The following is a rolling list of upgrades and noteworthy maintenance that has been done to the car.
