Giving my Miata's rear end the full OEM+ treatment.

This video is the culmination of a 3-part series on totally refreshing my NA 1991 Mazda MX-5 Miata's rear suspension bushings and brakes! In the first video, I took everything apart and rebuilt the knuckles with new hubs, wheel bearings, and seals. Then in the second episode, I pulled the rear differential and replaced the stock rubber mounts with SuperPro polyurethane bushings. And finally in this video, I clean up the control arms, install new SuperPro bushings, get them back on the car, and put together a fully refreshed brake system with DBA slotted rotors, rebuilt calipers (which of course I had to paint red), EBC RedStuff pads, Cobalt stainless steel braided brake lines, and Russell speed bleeders from Moss Miata.

Like most projects, this whole thing turned into a bigger undertaking than I originally planned, but the results are excellent, and I can't wait to finish upgrading the handling of this car by doing the SuperPro bushings up front, along with new tie rods and ball joints, so stay tuned for that in a future video! Thanks for hanging out.
