Works like intended.

For my, my 07 had a door that would rattle over bumps. Installed these and the problem went away.It’s simple too.Take old ones out. Replace with these. Don’t fully tighten the bolt but enough to hold them in place. Open and close the door a few times. Torque down bolts. Check work. Done.

Pros
  • significantly reduced body flex. A definitely positive change in the driving dynamics.
Cons
  • The product may be too bulky

Worth every penny for my opinion

I was skeptical before purchasing, but I figured it was worth a return if they weren’t needed. After the super easy installation, I took her out for a spin and IMMEDIATELY noticed a difference. Tighter maneuvering, stiffer body, and less road notice. Worth every penny.

Pros
  • CravenSpeed's door bushings are a must-have for drivers who want to enhance their Mazda MX-5 Miata's handling and performance
Cons
  • The product may not improve the overall look of the car

Could not believe the change

I did not think that such a small piece that was so easy to install would have such a huge impact. I recently picked up an 06 GT as a weekend toy for the hills and noticed pretty regular rattling, which I figured was a function of age. Adding these bushing reduced that rattling by a good 80%

Pros
  • Fits perfectly makes for more solid
Cons
  • The product may require frequent maintenance

What I expected on my review.

Can't say I feel a difference while driving, but my doors close more solidly. My Miata is new, so I wasn't expecting too much, but I'm hoping for longevity over the OEM rubber units.

Pros
  • Say goodbye to sloppy and imprecise door movement and enjoy a more connected driving experience with these door bushings
Cons
  • The product may not be user-friendly

I bought a new 2020 MX5 RF GT in the spring of 2020. It's my first Miata and my first convertible, and I noticed pretty quickly that the car has more shake and shimmy than I'm used to. With less than 1,000 miles on the car, I bought these CravenSpeed door bushings.Install was very easy, two screws for each bushing. Finger tighten the screws just enough so that you can still move the bushing a little, open and close the door a few times, then tighten them down.I don't notice a big difference in…

Pros
  • These door bushings are made with the utmost attention to detail, from the choice of materials to the final assembly
Cons
  • The product may have an adverse effect on the car's aerodynamics

Best money I’ve spent.

I’m absolutely impressed with this product. No longer do I have to slam my driver side door to activate the alarm. Barely push the door and it matches and arms with zero issues. Driving the car I instantly noticed the lack of rattle whenever I hit a pothole. Quiet, stiff, and everything as described. Thank you.

Pros
  • Nice and easy to install
Cons
  • The product may not be reliable

Total gimmick best in my review

I installed one on one side, and left the OEM on the other side to listen, feel, or whatever, if there was a difference… and, to no one’s surprise, there wasn’t. This product is a gimmick, so don’t waist your money.

Pros
  • These door bushings have been tested and proven to offer a superior driving experience, even in the most challenging driving conditions
Cons
  • The product may not be suitable for long term use

The car should have come with these from the factory

These are a must have. They made an immediate and quite noticeable difference in terms of chassis stiffness on my 2019 ND RF Club especially when the top is down. A bit pricey for 2 pieces of plastic. But they look nice and fit perfectly. No rattles or increase in door closing effort if you install them properly.

Pros
  • These door bushings are a cost-effective and easy way to enhance your Mazda MX-5 Miata's handling and performance
Cons
  • The product may cause the car to handle differently

Noticeable Difference

These are great. The doors open/close with a noticeably more solid feel. My car is a 2017 with less than 2,000 miles on it, so my doors were fine. But this makes a noticeable difference. I followed another reviewer's instruction on installation. Tighten til the blocks just slightly stick in place. Close the door. Open the door and tighten fully. Easy.

Pros
  • Body & Trim
Cons
  • The product may not function properly in extreme temperatures

Buy these for your ND

Best money I've spent on my ND so far! They really make a noticable difference in body shake over bumps! Worth every penny and then some. You won't ever want to go back to stock bushings! Mark W.

Pros
  • Great product a must have to improve door flex.
Cons
  • The product may make some noise while driving

Simple but effective

I bought this for my 2017 Club, and it's a great product. It works as advertised, reduced cowl shake and improved NVH. Very easy to install. Highly recommended to all MX-5 soft top owners.

Pros
  • noticeable difference in stiffness, great
Cons
  • The product may chip or scratch easily

They make a difference

These install easily enough, but I have seen zero difference so far, either in terms of door "sound" or car stability. Time will tell I guess.Update: after driving around for a week, I have to say that these things actually do make a difference. The body doesn't creak and groan as much every time it turns out goes over a bumpy surface. I'm actually surprised by how much smoother the experience is.

Pros
  • Does the perceived quality thing, recommended.
Cons
  • The product may not provide any noticeable improvement

Great price, awesome looks and no rattle

I'm still driving around to see if I feel a difference. I'm already on Ohlins with Eibach struts which makes me stiffer than normal. However, I did notice door rattle. I'm hoping this easy to do upgrade fixes that. Install was easy.just wish my socket fit in the hole to make it tighter.

Pros
  • Sturdy! Will remove stress as opposed to cheap rubber bushings that are factory.
Cons
  • The installation process may be difficult for some

Too firm for my taste

It was a perfect fit but it is too firm, almost feel like hard plastic. I don't know its long term effect having replaced the rubber door bushing. It looks nice though.

Pros
  • These door bushings are the perfect complement to many of CravenSpeed's other performance-enhancing products
Cons
  • The product may not last as long as advertised

Absolutely do this.

I just put these into my NA Miata and the difference is astonishing. The door rattle noise is virtually gone and the interior cabin is significantly more quiet and pleasant.When you install them leave the screws a bit loose and then tighten them when the door is closing with some slight resistance. You basically want the door to slightly lift on top of the bushings so it rests there without rattling.I wish I had done this simple mod ages ago! Highly recommended to do.

Pros
  • Bought it for my Mazda Miata MX-5 NB 2005. Very quick installation. Best quality.
Cons
  • The product may not be worth the effort of installation

Does what it claims.

I have only had my 2020 MX-5 RF GT for a few weeks but have already noticed the door issue when driving over rough roads. These installed in about ten minutes. Not only do they look better, they truly keep the doors more secure from movement. Great fix. Mazda should address this but I guess not enough people notice.

Pros
  • Automotive
Cons
  • The product may clash with the color scheme of the car

Quality product: my feedback

Quality product, excellent fit and finish, looks great and does what it claims and very simple to install. That's my feedback!

Pros
  • These bushings are made from only the highest-grade materials, ensuring that they'll stand up to even the most demanding driving conditions
Cons
  • The product may not work as well on older car models

I installed Cravenspeed Delrin (acetel) door bushings that I snagged on sale on revain plus I got free shipping as a "Prime" member. I really didn't expect much out of them because my car is in extremely near perfect condition, but lately a lot of Miata forum members here have been installing them with great reviews, so I figured "what the hell".I took my car for a ride and was absolutely blown away at the amount of noise that was gone (some of which I didn't notice until it was gone!) and the…

Pros
  • Enjoy a more engaging driving experience with these precision-engineered door bushings that are tailored specifically for the Mazda MX-5 Miata
Cons
  • The product may cause the car to consume more fuel

Placebo effect or real?

These are so easy to install less then 10 minutes and you are done. Do they make the car stiffer as they sort of claim to do? Kind of. In my RF, there seems to be less cowl shake when the top is down. Is this placebo or real? I am not sure but there does seem to be less cowl shake. Are they worth the money? Kind of. They are expensive for what they are, should be priced more like $40.

Pros
  • Upgrade your Miata's door movement with these precision-designed bushings that offer a smoother, more responsive feel
Cons
  • The product may not work in all weather conditions
