shock horror. A mod post..

Fuck yeah...tightens up cornering no end. It's instantly noticable the first time you go down a twisty road or round a sharp fast bend as long as you're the kind of driver who can actually feel a car.

Completely sorted out all the slopping about in my Capri when I fitted one.

I'd fit a rear one to the MX5 as well. Pointless putting a rear one on my Capri as its on leaf springs so doesn't do anything.

Nope - that's the lot, job done.

Some cars it makes little difference - it depends how tight the front end is already. On my T5 the difference was instantly noticeable when you powered out of a corner. But some of the more hardcore MX5s had them fitted from the factory, so if Mazda thought they made a difference I'd say get it on there as soon as you have 10 minutes spare!!

I presume I need to root my torque wrench out and find the right settings from the OC forums then :-)

Thanks all

Shouldn't do...just tighten the nuts right up.

Pffffft, I wouldn't bother personally. But 30-36Nm (22-26lb ft) is the setting according to the handy enthusiasts manual on the shelf next to me :)

Good stuff. I've put it on and it has made some difference. Much less sloppy and it appears to be less susepctible to tramlining on the crap roads round here, though that might just be my imagination. I took it down some twisty roads and it's more like I expected an MX-5 to be now. Turns in sharply and the rear end seems more predictable. Less rattly noises too.

Cheers Carl. It's on now. Piece of piss..
