I was looking at the Westfield build on the flyin Miata website and they have the rear uprights on the car backwards. These guys know Miatas so I'm sure they did it on purpose, I'm just wondering if there are any potential drawbacks to this. If not I may do it myself as it looks to fit better. :)

I think it may have to do with ebrake cable routing to the tunnel area. Less bend on the cables and they may not need shortening. Just a guess. I dont see any draw backs.
