I like the ride softer on the street anything more than 14F/10R the car seems unsettled at speed when at the track.

Just my experience.

You have to set the car up the way you like it and for the tracks you run on. A smooth track with few bumps you want to increase stiffness and bumpy tracks you decrease stiffness as a general rule. I am running with a big wing in the rear and a five inch splitter up front which changes the dynamics for suspension setup. It is a game of trade offs as all cars have limitations. It is just about how much money you want spend on getting them as perfect as you can for your driving style and ability. Many of the best pro drivers will tell you for handling performance you pretty much can't beat a Miata that is well setup and from my experience that is a true statement.
