Shocks
I'm going to have to replace the rear shocks on the Miata temporarily while I send the old ones to Koni for a rebuild. I am not sure about trying some other shock or to buy a 'backup" set of Konis. Any suggestions? Something a little less expensive wouldn't hurt my feelings.

Actually, and I shouldn't tell you this ,
The stock rear set up would probably make the back end stick better.
You want the back end as to have less rate so it will keep it's bite,
the front Koni's with the bigger sway will help transfer weight to the rear and
the softer rear with softer shocks will keep the inside tire planted better.
I run konis on the front and a set of jag adjustable but softer than konis on the rear. Harder shocks on the rear do in effect up the spring rate after all..
