Count me in on the BG chassis as well. I will see if my Factory Service Manual has spring rates for the Escort if needed.

Just so you guys know the plan of attack:
1) Take measurements from OEM Sample (thank you for stepping up guys!)
2) Determine suitable spring rates for Sports Springs (Road) and Race Springs (Fast Road/Weekend Warrior). If you have the setup/track experience, you may also choose your own custom spring rates @ $50/corner. Please note though, as we use digressive valving, you do not need as stiff a spring rate as what would normally be required on a generic/typical coilover set. If you have a dedicated track car, you may also choose the option of inverted dampers (more rigid) @ $100/corner. Inverted dampers are not required for a road car
3) Start taking deposits (I don't want to do this until we know exactly what we are up against i.e take our measurements)
4) Produce a test batch (covering all of those on the pre-order list). However, we will only ship 1 set out initially, so we will need to work out who is going to be the designated tester (must have the ability to install and test fitment straight away). This normally takes around 6-8 weeks, depending on the complexity of the application
5) Modify/Fine-tune any "bugs" that we find
6) Ship the remaining sets (with any modifications) out to the rest of the pre-order list
We are custom making these for you guys, based on your feedback, so keep the questions/suggestions coming
P.S If anyone is a regular on one of the Miata forums, would it be possible if you could help us out and post up an Introductory/GI thread? It's always better to have someone start a thread on our behalf, than for us to just barge our way in without anyone knowing who we are!Last edited by MFactory; 11-01-2016, 05:18 PM.MFactory / YCW Engineering (LSD's, Gears, Flywheels, Clutches, Driveshafts, Axles) - www.teammfactory.com

I would just say have therieldeal do it, he's a cone chaser and has been on the forums foreverrrr. Although he does have an escort, whilst most of us will be in Proteges. I can do it but it's been awhile since I messed with coilovers.
I don't have an account on the Miata forums unfortunately, I think maybe 300zx might.
So you have the spring rates, but do you still need actual factory struts to look at?1991 Protege LX 5MT, P/S, A/C, NOW Sun Roof!

I'm working out the spring rates just now, but we would still need the oem struts/springs to take measurements fromMFactory / YCW Engineering (LSD's, Gears, Flywheels, Clutches, Driveshafts, Axles) - www.teammfactory.com

Not me. I never owned a Miata and hardly posted since I am only usually browsing for parts, plus how will I promote something I am not even going to use.

If they are like the BH, will be around 2.1K/1.8K
Based on those rates, I would go for a 4K/4K for Sports, and 6K/6K for Race (both giving slight oversteer)MFactory / YCW Engineering (LSD's, Gears, Flywheels, Clutches, Driveshafts, Axles) - www.teammfactory.com
