It is HSD's road-focused range: a big step up in body control and steering response over standard suspension, while keeping a ride you can live with every day and the option of the odd track day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 14-way damping adjuster lets you go from a softer road setting to a firmer track setting in a few clicks. Ride height is set by screwing the damper body up or down, separately from spring preload, so you can lower the car without losing suspension travel or changing how the spring behaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit had a Version 2 redesign in 2022 to give more damper stroke, so very low ride heights are possible without running out of travel. This is the Default spring rate kit (9kg front, 7kg rear), the best choice for road cars and occasional track days. A stiffer Track Pack is listed separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDamper type:\u003c\/strong\u003e low gas-pressure twin-tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDamping adjustment:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14-way, soft to hard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring pack:\u003c\/strong\u003e Default\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront spring:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9kg\/mm (approx. 88 N\/mm), 175mm long, 65mm ID\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear spring:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7kg\/mm (approx. 69 N\/mm), 150mm long, 65mm ID\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Height and Damping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHSD part number:\u003c\/strong\u003e HSD8-DT-MA05\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14-way adjustable twin-tube dampers with low gas pressure for a compliant road ride\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull-length height adjustment, separate from spring preload, so you keep full damper stroke when lowered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6061 aluminium top mounts and spring seat collars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZinc-plated damper bodies with e-coated lower mounts and full-length dust boots for corrosion protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned as a bolt-on kit for this car, with spares and rebuild support through the UK distributor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Kit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 x HSD Dualtech coilovers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x C-spanners for height and preload adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x set of fitting instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x HSD stickers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e the HSD feature graphics in the gallery are illustrations of the range; the coilovers supplied are specific to this car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMazda MX5 Mk2 NB (1998-2005)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot suitable for:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Mazda MX5 Mk3 NC (2005-2015) - this needs a different HSD kit; the Mazda MX5 Mk4 ND (2016 on) - this needs a different HSD kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit is a direct replacement for the standard dampers and springs on the Mazda MX5 Mk2 NB, using the factory mounting points with no cutting or drilling. Set an even ride height side to side using the body adjustment rather than the preload collars, tighten every lock ring, then have a full four-wheel alignment done. Check the ride height and that all bolts and lock rings are tight again after the first few hundred miles. We recommend professional fitting by a garage with spring compressors and alignment equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould I choose the Default or Track Pack springs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose Default for road use and occasional track days. The Track Pack's stiffer springs reduce body roll and suit regular track use or very low ride heights, but the ride is firmer. This listing is the Default kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this kit fit my car?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHSD lists this kit for the Mazda MX5 Mk2 NB (1998-2005). Not suitable for: the Mazda MX5 Mk3 NC (2005-2015) - this needs a different HSD kit; the Mazda MX5 Mk4 ND (2016 on) - this needs a different HSD kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I adjust the alignment with these coilovers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit does not include camber adjustment, so use adjustable arms if you need more camber change. A four-wheel alignment is needed after fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between HSD Dualtech and MonoPro?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDualtech uses 14-way twin-tube dampers and is aimed at road cars with occasional track use. MonoPro uses 16-way high gas-pressure monotube dampers that stay consistent when driven hard, and suits regular track days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I lower the car without changing the spring preload?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. HSD coilovers adjust ride height by screwing the damper body in its lower mount, separately from the spring preload collar, so you keep the same spring behaviour and damper travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a wheel alignment after fitting?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Changing ride height alters toe and camber, so a full four-wheel alignment is needed after fitting and after any big height change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre these coilovers road legal?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, they are designed for road use. Lowering is a modification, so tell your insurer, and keep enough ground clearance and suspension travel for UK roads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat warranty do HSD coilovers have?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHSD coilovers are covered by a 12-month warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Spare parts, springs and rebuild support are available through the UK distributor.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HSD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58919654359423,"sku":"HSD-K-MAZDA-MX5-MK2-NB-D-D","price":798.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/6251\/6693\/files\/hsd8-dt-ma05_1_5_6a233fe3-3100-4679-a31d-7f411b312552.jpg?v=1792766540","url":"https:\/\/coilovers.co.uk\/products\/hsd-dualtech-coilovers-mazda-mx5-mk2-nb-98-05","provider":"Coilovers.co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
