You never mentioned you had to s/c the Miata...speaking completely from a consumable standpoint, Miatas cost very little to track...very light on tires, brakes and gas.

It's not that the spring rates are necessarily too stiff, but when combined with suspension travel, motion ratios, friction circles, and roll stiffness...they are not effective.

Get someone with more experience to drive your car. See how it handle for them. I've driven a few people's cars that complained of poor handling, and it was mostly due to poor technique.
