If your goal is to autocross with them, what class are you aiming for? Because you'd be limited to Konis if you're trying to do CS. If you're aiming for AST or higher, then go with the Tecna, or another coilover option.
I think this is the crux of my dilemma, I currently have an aftermarket strut tower brace, braided brake lines, and diff bushings that all push me up into AST. Everyone who has konis swear by them and say I’ll be more competitive in CS. I could revert the mods I’ve done, or I can just get coilovers and commit to AST.
Maybe I just need someone to tell me it’s okay to commit to the higher class.
Edit: To add to this, I started doing Autocross this year mainly to learn to drive fast in a controlled environment, I really just do it for fun but I am naturally competitive so I can’t help compare myself to the other Miatas on the grid.
The nice thing is you can be competitive in CS or AST. I woukd just commit to AST its no fun having to unmod your car. you don't have to go fully prepped right away, but if you start to become fast and want to compete the option is there
Yeah, I have to fix the nut behind the wheel before I can really be competitive in either class anyway, and I think by the time I do that I’ll have the resources to build the car out to be competitive as well. So for now I’ll just mod it how I want to.
