FS: various Miata parts
#1
I will soon be selling my 2000 Miata so I'm putting it back as close to stock first. I will have some used parts available such as:

-set of single adjustable Koni sport shocks (yellows)
-set of Racing Beat springs
-Flyin' Miata 1" front sway bar w/ poly mounts (great for stock class autox)
-set of immaculate 15x6.5 Konig Heliums in bronze 4x100 bolt pattern(possibly with a set of nearly new Michelin Pilot Exalto summer tires - depending on if potential buyers want them)


I've got a question though that I'd like opinions on. Between my two miatas, i have 3 sets of shocks/springs. The newest miata has the koni yellows/RB springs. The miata i'm selling currently has koni yellows/GC perches and springs and a third OEM set of shocks/springs sitting on a garage floor. i will be swapping the konis/GC combo out of the old miata onto the new miata because i want the adjustability of height and the ease of changing spring rates (because i think the SM rates are crappy).

Now i can put the koni/RB combo on the miata i'm gonna sell or i can put the OEM setup back on and sell the koni/RB's seperately. i know they say that you can get more money by selling a car stock than modified. however, the car will retain the roll bar, competition motor mounts and 4-1 race header because those were a huge pain in the ass to install so i dont want to bother with taking them out. So the potential demographic that i'm gonna be selling the car to might want the koni yellows/RB springs instead of the OEM setup.

My question is, should i put the OEM setup back in the car before i sell it, or just swap in the konis/RB springs? What it basically all boils down to is, can i sell the miata for ~$400 more with the konis/RB than i would with the stock setup?

I guess this is all a moot point if someone wants to buy those konis/RBs outright.

post up the koni/RB setup seperate, but when you put the car up for sale mention that you have them as well and could be added to the deal for the right price. You'll typically make more money from selling the good parts seperate from the car, but as you said, it is typically a PITA and no guarantee they'll sell quickly (I have no idea about miata stuff though).

put the Koni/RB setup on the car you are going to sell, and keep all the stuff you are already done to it, and then place it on Ebay as a track car

or make me a deal on it

FM sway bar is sold.

i listed the wheels on miata.net for $300 or $600 with the tires. these wheels are the almost universal 4x100 bolt pattern so they fit many different cars, not just miatas. if you're serious about wanting to buy them, i can cut you a MM deal. PM me if you want the wheels or wheels with tires and we'll go from there.

also available: black teamtech arm restraints. many orgs require these if you run in an open top car with no hard top. used one weekend before i had a hardtop so they're practically brand new.
