Thanks for the update paul. PLEASE keep updating us on how many of these are left! I'll probably pick one up too, but I can't do it till my next paycheck or the one after that.

Paul, I believe someone said Dan Gardner will be offering other products as well. Can you tell give us a sneak glance of any upcoming products or what we are looking at?

The sway bar (this)
harder poly mounts
coilovers
camber plates

some other stuff is still down the pipeline too.

keep me updated on the camber plates Paul. Working up ideas on a custom coilover setup, which would need camber plates unless I can work it out to re-use the top mounts from the SS-P's.

Will probably be a while on my end, but it will be good to be in the loop on the plates.

Guys,

Paul is correct on the items listed...though we'd also like to see what kind of take rate there might be on the suspension and subframe bushings. Here's an example of how the DG-Spec stuff would be different.

--Motor Mounts and Suspension and Subframe Bushings
Much harder than the standard stuff. My durometer-spec allows for minimal deflection.

--Camber Plates: Same basic design but offered with more adjustment and big 3/4 inch sphericals. We would build adapters for each customer on a case by case basis depending on your shocks. True, perfect fit each and every time.

--Coilovers: Two sets of different valving depending on how hardcore you need. Both well exceed the street kit. We hand select spring rates.

--Long wheel stud racing kit: 20 in the kit, plus the ability to add open lugs in either 17 or 19 mm heads.

That's a start guys.

Some custom spindles would be nice... so the car could be lowered without affecting geometry as much :D But, that is an expensive run part for the few people that would probably actually buy it.... not to mention it would throw me into "A pile and a half of money worth of mods to still get beat by a frankenstein 300 WHP stripped to 1800 lbs miata" class at our autox events....




But anyways, are you thinking camber/caster plates or just camber?

ABSOLUTELY will have both camber AND caster. Sorry should have mentioned that.

Funny you should mention that. There's been talk of doing it...either through our team, or through a dealership.

That'd be sweet! Fully equipped with a Dezod turbo too.

It would be crazy if Dan did Time Attack. Since Ptuning no longer is running the street or modified class, Dan could be the one to break records. With a Dezod turbo of course.

I think just about everyone is anxious for that box to show up.
