I know this is an ancient post, but I just ordered a set of these:

I filled out the questionnaire on the website and the next day I got a call from Shaikh. What kind of driving do you do? Where are you on the ride vs handling spectrum? He ended up suggesting something between the GT and sport package.
I'm really looking forward to getting them. So the caveat is there is a
4-6 week lead time on orders. He was upfront about it, so I knew that going in. Small company, custom work, etc.
FCM has gotten good reviews on mazda-speed.com but I haven't read any comparison reviews with other shocks such as the AFCOs. They're in pretty much the same ballpark price-wise.
I'm sure they're excellent as well. Anything that can survive Targa Newfoundland and a v8 Miata has to be tough. I like the Flyin Miata folks. I've been in contact with them and I'm probably going to order their Little Enchilada package for my MSM. I'll also be getting a 3.63 gearset and ECU reflash and then I'll call it a day. At least until that blows over with the wifely unit and I'll getting some nickel 15x8 ULs and TBD tires. And then I'll probably call it a day...
I'm just wondering, have you done anything as far as stiffening is concerned? Because I've read that the FM butterfly brace
In addition to the AFCOs, I added the FM butterfly brace, the Cannon rear sub-frame brace and a Racing Beat front brace.
The car feels like it is one piece now, and ready to take any power upgrades I throw at it.
Awesome.
I have to say, the folks at Skip Barber have their curriculum very well designed so that by the third day, I was pretty comfortable driving a kind of car I'd never before encountered--one with much faster reactions, both good and bad--at over 100mph.
I think there was only one guy in the school who was faster than I was and he had a lot of previous experience including previous Skip Barber schools and lapping sessions.
They were offering a deal where $200 down would secure you a spot for 18 months at 20% off the regular price, so I'm going again.
