Keeping with my trend of a track day every other week, I hit up a pretty affordable Streets of Willow Springs Clockwise day. I had new components to try out, with some fresh QA1 coilovers, Progress swaybars, and the Electrosport Wheel Well vents. I was able to meet up with a fellow C5 owner, whose C5 unfortunately was down and so they were there in a Focus ST. We also met a fellow with a pretty rowdy 2019 Ford Mustang, and I can't recall the model but given he was rolling on 315 front 325 rear tires, his car was definitely built to shred!

After the first two track days, I was gunning to hit my third track day with some notable upgrades. Unfortunately shipping woes would not allow it as two of my incoming tires dissappeared. How two of 4 tires all sent out at the same time go missing is beyond me, but eh that's not my problem as I was later sent out two tires.

This article originally started as a first impressions review of the QA1 Proma Star coilovers paired with Progress sway bars on my C5 Corvette. At that time, I had only just installed the setup. Fast forward several years and over 35 track events later, and this article now reflects long-term use, experimentation, and the realities of pushing this budget-oriented coilover platform right up to its limit.

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.

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.
