What do you guys think? I'm not a fan of the rear, but I can always add a lip or use a different rear and mod it with the kit.

keep looking for something stock-like....maybe a lip or something simple. Its a small car, keep it like that.

Having owend 2 Z's 91 n/a and a 96 TT *i miss that car* This gay miata actually handles a lot better than either of the Z's. I'm waiting on my tein suspension, the greddy turbo kit, e-manage, and piping for my FMIC as we speak. I just figured since the stock front is kinda small for my IC i was gonna go with a aftermarket one. *i have a Isuzu NPR HD Intercooler* I thought why not wide body, it will even handle better with the lowered suspension and wider stance. IDK I kinda like the looks to . . . I was just thinking of your guys thoughts on it.

common misconception. The car may stick better on a track, but it will no longer drive as nimble like it does right now. You would be totally altering the stock suspension geometry and ruining the handling in that aspect, the Miata is very sensitive to suspension changes.

Not only that but the turning radius would increase as well. That aside, the front looks mean as hell. The back just gots too much back. Some serious cottage cheese thighs goin on.

edit: the side view makes it look like a 944. I like 944's. But then again I drive a box.

edit again: If you get the wide body, naturally you would get spacers or wheels to fill the wide body. Hence the turning radius issue.

looks like an FD kit
i think its nifty for a show car, but it is a wild and crazy kit for that car
but like Fritchard said, don't screw up handling
(i guess i held that misconception too)
