The suspension arms are already made for Miata hubs. As for the brakes, I am using the smaller miata ones, as the car will weigh less than 1/2 the weight of the s2k, and not need larger rotors. Using the miata hubs and smaller brakes also lets 4x100 wheels, and I can even fit my 13x9 wheels on the car.

Nope, it was a salvage car with damage to the rear driver's side:

(pics from the shop before I bought it)

No frame damage, and new suspension arms are being put on the chassis now, so that I can have it towed to the new owner.
