SkidNation MX-5 NB Lowered Suspension Alignment Correction Kit

While the NB chassis corrected many of the NA’s quirks, lowering the car still brings the same physics-based penalty: Bump Steer. When you drop your ride height, the angle of your tie rods changes, causing the wheels to toe-in or toe-out as the suspension moves up and down. This results in a front end that feels “jittery” or follows every imperfection in the road without your input.

The NB Lowered Geometry Correction Kit is the professional way to recalibrate a lowered chassis. By combining rack spacers to fix geometry, polyurethane bushings to stop rack “walk,” and our signature locking system, we ensure your settings stay exactly where you set them — no matter how hard you clip the apex.

SkidNation MX-5 NB Lowered Geometry Correction Kit

What’s inside the kit:

• Steering Rack Spacers – CNC-machined spacers that raise the steering rack to compensate for a lower ride height.
  • Geometry Correction: Re-aligns the steering rack with the control arms, significantly reducing bump steer and restoring a natural steering arc.
  • Stability: Stops the steering wheel from “tugging” in your hands when driving over uneven surfaces.
  • Pro Tip: Essential for any NB lowered more than 30 mm to restore front-end composure.

• Polyurethane Steering Rack Bushings – Replaces the soft factory rubber mounts that hold the rack to the subframe.
  • Eliminate Rack “Walk”: Stops the entire steering rack from sliding laterally before it starts moving the wheels, providing an immediate increase in steering sharpness.
  • Two Stiffness Options: Choose 80 ShA for a communicative street feel, or 90 ShA for maximum “manual-feel” precision on a track-focused build.
  • Why it’s here: On the NB, these bushings are an easy upgrade that provides a massive improvement in center-point feel.

• High-Strength Alignment Bolts – A complete set of top-grade eccentric bolts for the front and rear suspension.
  • High-Tensile Reliability: Designed to hold aggressive alignment specs under high cornering loads without stretching.
  • Anti-Seize Coating: Replaces the notorious factory bolts that frequently seize into the lower control arm sleeves.
  • Pro Tip: Fresh hardware allows your alignment shop to dial in the exact camber and caster needed to make a lowered car actually handle.

• SkidNation Alignment Locks – 4 mm zinc-plated steel plates that physically “key” the eccentric bolts into place.
  • Zero Slip: Prevents the adjustment bolts from rotating when you hit bumps, potholes, or rumble strips.
  • H-Shape & D-Shape Variations: We include both to ensure a perfect lock, whether you are using our alignment bolts or original-style hardware.
  • Why it’s here: Lowered cars often run stiffer spring rates, which transmit more shock to the hardware; these plates ensure your alignment stays “locked in” permanently.

Key benefits

• Predictable Steering: The car stays on its intended line through mid-corner bumps instead of “darting.”
• Immediate Turn-In: Removing rack movement means your steering inputs are translated directly to the tires with zero delay.
• “Set and Forget” Alignment: Your alignment settings stay true for years, saving you the cost of repeated trips to the alignment shop.
• Improved Feedback: Polyurethane rack bushings allow you to feel exactly how much grip the front tires have left.
• Mechanical Sympathy: Corrected geometry reduces the stress on your tie rods and ball joints.

This kit is for you if:

• Your NB is lowered on coilovers or lowering springs and feels “darty” at high speeds.
• You want to eliminate the “dead spot” in the center of your steering wheel.
• You are setting the car up for track or spirited road use and want the most precise front end possible.
• Your current alignment bolts are seized and you want to upgrade while you replace them.

This kit is NOT for you if:

• Your NB is at factory ride height: Without the drop in height, the rack spacers would actually introduce geometry errors rather than fixing them.
• You want a soft, insulated ride: Upgrading to 90 ShA rack bushings will transmit more mechanical feedback and road texture through the steering wheel.

Fits all 1998–2005 models – NB/NBFL (Mk2/Mk2.5).
