stock is good , people use the miata thermosensor that controls the fans. The miata sensor turns the fan on at a lower temp. There other thermosensor that will turn on the fans at even lower temps than the miata one

I have heard that the stock thermostat will suffice... but again I have never had the pleasure of changing one out and seeing the effects on a FD

From what I hear, the stock one that the dealer gives you, lowers the temperature more than the old stock one used to. I'm not sure if it is a Miata thermostat though. I'm buying one this weekend. I'll ask then.

They don't use a Miata T-stat. Some people use the coolant temp sensor from a Miata.
