Ohlins Road & Track Coilovers – 2006-2014 Mazda Miata MX-5

Ohlins Road & Track Coilovers – 2006-2014 Mazda Miata MX-5 (NC)

Swedish Suspension Engineering for the Modern Miata
The Ohlins Road & Track Coilovers for the 2006-2014 Mazda MX-5 Miata (NC) bring DFV technology and monotube precision to the third generation of the world’s most beloved sports car. The NC MX-5 grew up relative to its predecessors — it is larger, heavier, and more powerful, but it retained the double-wishbone front suspension and the rear suspension geometry that make the Miata platform so responsive to chassis setup. Ohlins is the natural choice for owners who want to make the most of that geometry with a suspension system that was built for this kind of performance.

DETAILS

• Patented Dual Flow Valve (DFV) technology for consistent damping in both compression and rebound
• Monotube damper architecture for improved response and heat dissipation
• Height adjustable via strut body, not spring perch, for more precise ride height tuning
• 20+ click adjustable damping range for road and track configurations
• Inverted front strut design for reduced unsprung weight and improved steering feel
• Aluminum shock bodies for lightweight construction and improved cooling
• Rebuildable and serviceable by Ohlins dealers
• ISO 9227 corrosion salt spray tested
• Compatible with OEM top mounts
• Dustcovers and spring preload adjuster included
• All necessary hardware and ride height adjustment tool included
• Two-year warranty

DFV Technology and the NC’s Chassis Geometry
The NC Miata’s double-wishbone front suspension is one of the more technically sophisticated setups in its class, and it responds to damper quality in a way that a MacPherson strut car simply does not. Ohlins’ Dual Flow Valve ensures the damper responds consistently in both compression and rebound, so the wheel returns to the road surface with controlled precision at every corner. On a car built around mechanical grip and driver feedback, that consistency is immediately noticeable — the front end communicates more clearly, the rear stays planted through direction changes, and the car’s famous balance is preserved and enhanced rather than disrupted.

Precise Setup for Road and Track
Strut body ride height adjustment keeps the NC’s double-wishbone geometry intact across the full adjustment range, which matters when you are trying to optimize both stance and handling. The 20+ click damping adjuster covers a wide spread from daily use to track configuration. Independent height and damping adjustment per corner allow precise chassis balance setup, and spring preload and bleed adjustment add further depth for serious setup work. All hardware and a ride height adjustment tool are included.

Built for the NC Owner Who Takes It Seriously
Aluminum shock bodies reduce unsprung weight and help manage heat under sustained performance use. The rebuildable design allows the system to be serviced through Ohlins’ dealer network rather than replaced outright, which matters for an enthusiast platform that owners keep and develop for years. ISO 9227 corrosion testing ensures durability, and the two-year warranty backs the engineering quality.

Why Choose Ohlins

Ohlins has been engineering suspension systems for motorsport at the highest levels since 1976, supplying teams in MotoGP, Formula 1, and World Rally Championship. That racing heritage is not just marketing — it is reflected in the materials, tolerances, and engineering decisions that go into every Road & Track unit. The DFV technology, the rebuildable monotube architecture, and the corrosion testing standards are all direct products of Ohlins’ competition experience applied to street and track use. When you put Ohlins under your car, you are getting a product validated under conditions far more demanding than anything most owners will ever encounter.

The RallySport Take

The NC Miata is a more mature, more capable car than its predecessors, and it deserves a suspension upgrade that matches that capability. Ohlins DFV technology makes the most of the double-wishbone geometry that Mazda built into the platform, and the wide adjustment range lets you tune the car precisely for how you use it. Whether you are building an NC for autocross, track days, or spirited road driving, the Road & Track system is the suspension upgrade we would recommend.
