Actually, this is the kind of information that I'm looking for.John Stimson said:Since I referred to the percent change in spring rates, the weight of the car (or more relevant, the magnitude of the spring rates) doesn't matter...a 10% spring rate change is on par with the factory suspension package for the Miata, which doesn't significantly affect the ride smoothness.
I don't know if I should order the LSS package or not. And I won't be able to test drive one of each before ordering.
I also have a Miata (to go along with my Elan). Mine is an R package with the factory performance suspension. If you read discussions about Miata, most everyone will tell you how harsh and rough the R package suspension is. I, on the other hand, find it just perfect - you see I like a stiff suspension - and find the "stock" Miata suspension to be too soft.
I want to know if the "stock" Elise suspension and the LSS package will be similar to the Miata .vs. Miata R package suspension.
If it's a similar difference, I just might be opting for the LSS package...
