Enhance the Dynamic Performance of Your Mazda MX5

The advice from MX-5 owners was clear: tauten the handling up, but not at the expense of a harsher ride. And avoid the gradual deterioration and crashy ride of rubber bushes.

Polyurethane is more resillient than rubber, resulting in a firmer ride and sharper handling, which doesn't deteriorate if the car is pushed hard. It doesn't age or perish like rubber, so long term, this sophisticated ride quality is maintained.

For fast road use, we've taunted things up, but only to the point where ride uneven surfaces (most of our roads these days, it seems) stays supple and predictable.
