I ran a big bar two seasons ago and did not notice any issues with the XDF.
Keep the rules in mind here:Also - I wonder if some bump stop changes would be worth pursuing.
Stock rear stop is 112mm long. And the stock front stop is 57mm.
Except for my mastering the release of the plastic emissions container in the right wheelwell... Anybody got a simple way to release the clips that hold it in place that a moron like me can understand? The canister has to be removed to get to the third bolt of the upper shock mount on that side. Left side is easy-peasy.Absolutely. Like a lot of people on this thread I've been at this for a pretty long time. The CS and ES Miata crowds have been messing with bump stops for years.
I'm thinking if I do the front bar change, a stiffer rear bump stop package might help add some of the lost rear rate back. However, I don't know how close the top of the shock is to the bumpstop at static, stock ride height though. So it might not do much, or worse, a too-hard replacement bump stop could make the car really wild when it does make contact, and make the ESC even angrier than it already was.
Seems like a reasonably easy thing to test, though, since the rear shocks are pretty easy to remove even between heats at an event.
There are a few bolts. Remove the inner fender liner, or at least pull it back towards the rear of the wheel well.Except for my mastering the release of the plastic emissions container in the right wheelwell...

I'm thinking that the original bump stop really doesn't want to be shortened, but it would be easy enough to check out.
