For the last year, i've been riding around on revalve bilstein (700/400 f/r) with 500/350 lbs springs, ebay sleeves and oem NB top hats. i thought the ride was alright.

i was lowered f 11.5" r 12.0" with plenty of adjustability left on the ebay sleeves but with a shitty ride. it rode better then stock but it bottomed out a lot. First of all, goes to show how good Bilsteins are, they havent blown, no leaks or anything. Rode great but never got the true feel till i installed the new top hats...

ISC top hats f 1.5" r 2.0" same ride height as before and i also purchased ISC sleeves. The sleeves allow me to lower about another 2-3 inches from what im already at (for those concerned of slammage). the locking mechanism on the sleeves could be better, it just has a small allen key that locks it. i would prefer something like Tein where it has 2 perches to lock. Simple fix just buy 4 more perch's but it should be included to begin with.

when i installed the tops hats it was like day and night. i could feel every single lil thing on the road. My car does not bottom out at all (except for a huge dip i went over which i did not see). It feels and rides like a whole new car. I honestly gotta say i recommend this product for anyone looking to lower (im gonna slam as soon as i get my wheels) and ride great

this is the sleeves installed... see how much more adjustability i have :mrgreen: in this picture im already at a ride height of 11.5" from fender to hub


because the top hat is a lil wider then the whole for insertion on a NB, i had to modify it a lil bit see, no biggie

nannerpus-yes, thats the spring they take. thats actually whats on there. No they dont provide the spring isolator, that came with my GC's when i originally bought them 2 years ago.

sideshow- NA guys use the NB top hats to gain a lil more drop when they are modifying the suspension components. the isc top hats are meant to give you travel back. when you lower your miata using NB top hats, it reduces shock travel. With the isc top hats serving as an offset, it allows you to regain the travel you lost before.

maikeru- when i first contacted isc racing. i emailed followed by a call. Mike returned my call but after that, everything was done through emails. He responds promptly so if emails is your only choice, then go that route
