Tecna Reviews

“First impressions is that this suspension is smooth! I’ve only ventured from full soft to +6 for now as it is breaking in but it ride so smooth compared to my last setup GWR/Koni combo. Happy customer and can’t wait to drive it more!“

“Ride is very compliant without compromising handling. I imagine going to 215/45 tires will still be very comfortable. (225/45 is comfortable but car response is dulled overall). Girlfriend was just as excited as I with how much more compliant the ride was.“

“I got to the Miata Reunion early enough yesterday for Ed to give me a test ride in their 30AE ND that had their Tecna GT coilovers installed. It was a short (but twisty ) drive around the service road that encircles the track. I felt the ride was so much more compliant than the stock suspension I have on my 2021 RF Club. From the first road imperfection we drove over it was night and day a better ride.

I’ve never had a ride in a ND other than mine, so I can’t compare the test ride to any other ND suspension options. However, I have owned a number of german sports cars/sedans, and the ride quality felt more like the last Porsche I owned..”

“I have the the settings at 12 from full stiff front, 10 from full stiff rear. The first thing i noticed, was there is zero recovery time over bumps and inperfections, no loss of traction, no wheel hop etc. more comfy than stock and/or previous aftermarket setup. Also find myself taking on ramps faster, flatter and with more confidence and control than previous set up. Over all very pleased..” 

“Rides and looks so much better, body roll pretty much gone and ride is very smooth and compliant and most importantly not bouncy anymore. I would get a little nauseous with the stock bilsteins. Highway recommend!” 

“I was coming from the OEM Bilsteins with Progress springs, which was of course a subpar set up on track (I know that it’s not meant for that – I originally just bought the springs because I couldn’t stand the wheel gap and wasn’t ready to commit to coilovers). I felt like the car in stock form and with the Progress springs had way too much body roll and diving under braking. The height hasn’t changed much with the Tecnas installed compared to my Progress springs setup, but after just a couple quick drives to test it out, it feels like a completely different car. It’s really night and day. The body roll feels like it is significantly decreased, and the ride is extremely comfortable on the soft settings.” 

“Being in the Miata community since 2003 and driving just about every suspension setup under the sun across every generation, I haven’t experienced a setup (including OEM) that rides as well as the Tecna touring does.”

“I did wring the car out prior to the final alignment…put about 150 miles on it Wednesday on a combination of hiway and some of my favorite back road twisties. Amazing is all I got. I have had VMAXX classic..Megans…Illuminas/FM..VMAX TracPack..and driven numerous club cars with Koni/FM..Sportives..ZetaCRD…

These are head and shoulders better all around. A game changer for the NA/NB platform”

“I just finished installing the Tecnas with sport springs today and I am SUPER impressed with them!  Rides great! It handles the dips better than my Ohlins on my NC! And this is an old 91 NA! It corners amazingly well and I emphasize that the ride that goes with it is phenomenal. They are simply the best suspension setup I have ever experienced in any Miata.  And the cornering is superb! The body roll is non-existent. Well, at least with these all-season tires. Funny thing is they have a noticeable increase in grip now. I can really dive in the turns fast now. And I still can’t believe how smooth it is with the 9/6 springs.”

“I will say that if anyone is concerned that the 6k/4k technas will be too soft and not enough of a handling improvement to OEM, don’t be. If anything these have firmer damping than I was expecting and that is not a bad thing. I’m not sure that a better ride/handling balance is possible on an NB miata IMHO. The way the car drives now reminds me most of BMW E46 models which have always been some of my favorite as far as daily driving balance.”

“I installed my Tecnas last night. To put it succinctly, this setup is phenomenal. Ride comfort is important to me, and my hopes were very high for these. I was not disappointed…Out-of-the-box ride height was exactly what I wanted. I use my Miata almost exclusively for spirited, backroad driving. I bought the Tecnas because I wanted a suspension setup that (1) has OEM levels of ride comfort, (2) improves handling significantly, (3) allows me to lower the car very slightly from OEM height, and (4) does not require rebuilding. So far, the Tecnas have exceeded my expectations.”

” I opted in for the 9k/6k “sport” set because i am also running a 205 50 r15 200tw tire and felt like my previous suspension was under sprung for that. I can honestly give this setup a 10/10. There is something magical happening inside these dampers. Out of the 30 clicks I am running 20 from soft in the front and 18 from soft in the rear. Even at 2/3s stiff this setup is smooth and buttery even on harsh roads. The car has also maintained perfect balance. I absolutely recommend this coilover.”

” I have Xida on our race NA, and they’re fantastic. I just put SPM Tecna on our NB and they are very good… much better than the VMaxx they replaced. “

“I had the stock setup on just before the install and I can say without a doubt it’s a huge improvement in how controlled the car feels during aggressive street driving with really no ride quality penalty at all. Considering the fact that my car will probably never see a race track I think this purchase really fits my needs. Nice Job 949 Racing!”

“On the smaller road imperfections, they are amazing, not quite as butter as the xida were on those, but very close. Throwing them into mid corner drain grates and such, they are far and above better than anything else I have driven on that are not the Xida. .. They just make the road vanish now unless it’s a BIG bump/pothole. I am very impressed. Overall, for the price, I am very impressed, build quality is fantastic as well compared to most other coilovers I have handled ..”

“Have to put a quick initial review as it started raining when I pulled out of the garage but want to ask, how in the hell do these shocks with 504/336 lb. springs ride better than anything I have ever tried on an NA Miata??? Amazing.”
