I already have installed the SPL Upper Control arm. Will that help with any of the geometry concerns of lowering that you guys have brought up?
I will defer to my Suspension Track Shop (Miata Race Shop)...but I would not look to drop any more than 30mm. Given than I am already at 27 3/8" stock....I would drop to ~ 26 1/4" worse case.
Still looking for everyone's input...as I take it to the shop on Wed morning.

You can lessen the effect of that exponential camber change by adjusting the arms close to 0 degrees, but you will lose the contact patch (positive camber) on extension. I would just lower to the 26 1/4” and get a feel for the car. It’s all subjective, you may not be bothered by it at your limits.
