Napboy 10-27-2003, 12:57 PM I just talked with Rob at H&R and their springs for the 8 will not be out until next year. He said that the drop would be an inch all around. mikeb 10-27-2003, 05:48 PM one inch sounds perfect to me but next year sucks panda 10-27-2003, 08:44 PM hopefully at sema there will be some good releases :-) andrew Napboy 10-27-2003, 11:25 PM oh, and i talked to a guy at eibach and he said that part 5544.140 are the correct springs for the rx8. they're just listed as the wrong year. i'm gonna order some and i'll keep you posted. SpacerX 10-30-2003, 05:23 PM My approach to springs has always been more of a functional perspective. Don't really care too much about how much of a "drop" I'd get out of the new springs... In some cases, excessive lowering can seriously degrade not only handling characteristics, but also reduce the life of other suspension components. I like the idea of tuning the suspension, but I think I'll wait for some handling reviews... |
