2nd (better) Live stream - sharing FCM Elite Miata NA/NB setups, I want to see YOU go experiment!

Thanks to Timothy and Brodey for joining in on this live stream!

I'll be sharing my 'recipes' for NA and NB Miata FCM Elite setups for

Comfort / Touring
GT / High Performance
Race / Track

This will include recommended spring rates and lengths, sway bars, bump stops, and damper forces / shim stacks (not using any holes so a typical shop or Bilstein can rebuild the damper without requiring any drilling as I do with Ripple Reducer). These setup would be what I call a 'Stage 1 FCM Elite' which is an 'optimized setup' vs. a 'revalve' as some people would say.

I use the phrase 'optimized' because I've applied the ideas of Ride Harmony and Race Harmony to create a suspension that WANTS to move forward (vs. having pitch from your spring rate choice, that is always bouncing and oscillating to DRIVE the car BACKWARDS!). Also, an optimized FCM Elite setup has well-balanced compression and rebound forces in the damper, so you're experiencing a minimum of jacking down (too much rebound) or launching (too much compression). Also, the bump stops and sway bars are chosen to allow Flat Ride while still making a predictable-handling setup.

For those who want to get further fine-tuning, you can work with me via FCM Elite consulting or (even better) GO EXPERIMENT! If you're rebuilding BCs or another damper, or even the Bilsteins when it's possible to add an external valve, you can experiment (and document your work) to se what setups you like more than another. This is how most of us learn - by trial and error - and it's an indispensable approach to learning in general.
