Review on Upgrade Your Mazda MX-5 Miata With CravenSpeed'S USA-Made Door Bushings by Tai Waldbillig

All convertibles are suffering from reduced torsion stiffness compared to a coupe due to the missing roof structure.Mazda did a great job designing door cups, that could do much more than just providing a stopper when slamming the doors. But they went only half way when designing the adjacent reinforce rubber bushings.A couple of companies came up with the idea of making much more solid bushings, so the doors would become an integral part of the stressed structure. The idea is brilliant, and CravenSpeed is the one company to come up with the best solution.Why are the CravenSpeed busings the best? They are shaped to fit the door cups as closely as possible. Much better than any other product on the market. The bushings have 4 potential surfaces of contact and the CravenSpeed bushings make full use of all of them. Furthermore, the CS bushings are just a tiny bit softer than the usual Delrin bushings. They can be adjusted easily to fit every door, regardless of tolerances.The outcome is pretty clear: You will end up with a noticeably stiffer car. No more door rattling. Improved steering precision. And all this without any downsides like doors that won't close properly. Get them, no matter what generation MX-5 Miata you are driving!
