yeah the no camber arm rule makes no sense because they say they're not allowing them for reduced initial cost, but the cost later from wearing out tires faster because of improper camber angles will cost more. Also, miatas have OEM camber adjustment, so spec miata's have that adjustment option. Giving Spec Z camber arm options will just be fair.

also i dont understand the front and rear staggered wheel sizes with the required tire size is 275/35/18 all around. Either give us a front tire size that is a better fit for the max width 9 inch rim, or just give us 18x10 all around.

Another thing is rear diff cooler is not allowed, which i find confusing since the 350 and 370 rear end is known to see high diff oil temps because of the lack of airflow to the high mounted diff housing. Again they say to keep cost down is the reason, but i mean why outlaw it? just make it a option and the people who deem it necessary will buy them, and they people who dont, wont.
