This page will list a selection of the suspension options for the new MX-5. The table lower down the page contains some of the headline features of the various adjustable coilover units - it is intended for quick comparison only. Ideally before making a purchase you should take a drive in a car fitted with the suspension you're interested in but obviously this is not always practical.
Owner's clubs and forums can be useful here, as most Roadster enthusiasts are only too happy to show off their new modifications. The table will grow as more products come on the market, you can click on the manufacturer name to view their website. Note some of the pictures are examples only and do not show the Roadster's fitment.
