The best parts for a 2006-2015 Mazda Miata (NC) sharpen what the car already does well: a quality coilover set for flatter cornering, a Borla S-Type cat-back exhaust, Hawk HP+ brake pads, and a Cusco front strut bar for sharper turn-in. For power gains, a KraftWerks supercharger kit is one of the few proven bolt-on forced-induction options for the NC — and the kit we carry is sold as a no-tune package for 2006-2013 cars. Fix handling and braking first, then add power.
The third-generation Miata (NC) is the largest and most refined of the classic Miatas, built around Mazda's 2.0L MZR four-cylinder with a stiffer chassis than the NA and NB cars before it. It makes an excellent daily driver and a capable autocross and track-day platform, which is why the aftermarket stayed strong for it well after production ended in 2015.
Popular brands for the NC include APR Performance for aero, Borla for exhausts, Cusco for chassis bracing, Hawk Performance for brake pads, and KraftWerks for supercharging.

Does the KraftWerks supercharger kit for the NC need a tune?
The KraftWerks kit we carry for the 2006-2013 2.0L is sold as a no-tune package that runs on the factory ECU. A custom tune can unlock more, but it is not required.
Will NC suspension parts fit all 2006-2015 cars?
Many do, but some chassis and cooling parts split early and late NCs — some listings cover 2006-2010 or 2006-2014 specifically. Check your year and model on the product page before ordering.
Is a cat-back exhaust worth it on a stock NC?
A quality cat-back like the Borla S-Type will not transform power on its own, but it sheds weight and gives the 2.0L a proper sports-car note. It bolts on with no tune required.
What brakes do I need for occasional track days?
For light track use, high-temperature pads like Hawk HP+ and fresh brake fluid go a long way on the stock calipers. If you run harder or more often, step up to a big brake kit.
