Designed and engineered by our team to be the best riding Miata coilover available
The Lowdown: The Tecna coilover was engineered from scratch by our team to be the best riding coilover in this price range and still allow lowered ride heights. We think of these as daily driver/dual duty shocks, not race shocks. If you are focused on the ultimate handling in a competition type environment, we recommend stepping up to Xidas with much higher spring rates. Tecna damping range is roughly equivalent to the first 35% of Xida damping range. Perfect for a daily driver, canyons and HPDE or auto-x. Tecna do not require service and are intended to last the life of your vehicle.
Why one piece body? Tecna are fixed length, one piece body shock. Body, shaft lengths, mounts, and internal configuration are specifically engineered and maximized for this application. Unlike most aftermarket 2 piece, length adjustable coilovers that use an existing universal short cartridge with an adapter cup extension to make it fit. The upside of 2 piece coilovers is that they are cheap to produce. The downside is that they aren’t optimized for any particular platform and as a result don’t perform as well as 1 pieced (fixed length) shocks. Pro race teams and OEM’s do not use 2 piece shocks, ever. So whether you are looking for ride quality or performance, 1 piece shocks are the current state of the art .
