Re: local miata owners, post pics of your cars
Actually miatas understeer by nature.
*edit*, factory stock in a track environment, they understeer. In an autocross environment (pitching the car in quickly instead of a smooth turn) its more of a neutral to oversteer type of thing. This is on Azenis' all around.
Although with koni's and 550f/375r springs and stock sways, my old NA was prone to corner exit oversteer, which was WAYYYY fun.

I am not so sure i believe you sir...
ANYWHO, dude man said he was on a decent set of coils and he is clearly utilizing their hieght adjustablity option...
I would say oversteer is his biggest factor. I still say Stay stock sway Mr NC. maybe even disconnect your rear when you go play at an event.

^^ Thanks, with coils on the ass-end is a little happier, but not in a bad way. It it doesn't break away and fishtale or anything, it feels like it pivots under me. More natural and intuitive.

Edit: disconnecting the rear bar will lead to increased understeer correct?

I understeer around the carousel at Summit Point quite easily, and my car has 100% stock suspension.
