oh, yes... H&Rs are 10x better than the stock suspension! only a little stiffer, but much more planted and responsive feeling.
first thing i did when i bought my MS3 was sell the stock wheels. the MX-5s actually have the same basic design just with narrower spokes... looks much better in my opinion.
edit: if you are interested in reading more about the H&Rs you can see my install/review thread.

thats good to know. I really just want to get rid of that floaty sensation at higher speeds.
If they made them in 18" Id have a set myself!
Ive been readin your thread for a while now, thanks!
