I sold my RX-8 and the new owners agreed to buy it in stock form. I'm selling my low mileage Koni sport (yellow) shocks and Mazdaspeed springs. Here's the only catch, if you want to buy them then you need to come help me pull them. I still have my factory suspension so you can keep yours.

Looking for Dallas/Fort Worth people only, or if you're willing to drive down from say Austin/Houston. Also prefer that you've done this before.

Asking $400 for the Konis (paid 600 shipped new) and $175 for the Mazdaspeed springs.

PM me if you're interested, I need to get this done by middle of next week (11/14/2007)

Cosmos, thats like the best setup non-coilover right?

Depends on what you mean by best. But in general yes Koni makes great shocks and Mazdaspeed did their homework on spring rates. The combo works great with minimal lowering but maximum performance. The car handles completely different with this setup, much sharper and faster turn in etc. It is a bit stiffer than stock for sure though, I have them turned up about 3/4 of the way, the shocks are adjustable.

still possibly interested in the springs

Would like to sell them together if possible, but if I'm parting out a friend of mine has dibs on the springs. Need to get this done soon so.

Morning bump, any local takers?

hmmm....i wonder how much i can sell my springs for

I've driven the car with this setup and it's great. Good luck with the sale!

Thanks, want to help me pull them Friday afternoon :yesnod:

Sorry, doubt I can get away from work. :(

Ok, well I'm doing my miata door sat morning if you decide not to go to ER and want to help let me know.

Anyone else who is interested please PM me ASAP and make plans to help pull this stuff.

By the way if you're interested and never felt the setup before you can come get a ride and see for yourself.

I would, but the only thing is that I have so much work this weekend!

I am still interested. I would try to help with the uninstall but I am inexperienced. It would kill me to know someone gave them away.

Sorry I prefer someone with good mechanical aptitude. I can't screw it up, the car is already sold so it needs to be done correctly. I may just end up pulling them on my own and selling for more since it doesn't look like there are any takers.

I am far from mechanically retarded lol. I am just saying I am inexperienced with taking the suspension apart. I understand though. If you can find absolutely no one else, I will still be here.

Well, install an intake or turbo or exhaust or flywheel incorrectly and your car stalls, at worst you blow your engine.

Install the suspension incorrectly, you cant brake or turn, go into oncoming traffic or into a tree, and you die :)

thats encouraging...

True. I am just saying I don't have experience, not that I don't know what to do. Only one way to learn, right? I guess if you get them off the car and no one offers, I will still buy them. I have all weekend to come get them.

Exactly, I'm not taking the liability of selling someone a car with suspension that isn't put together correctly. I know it's put together perfectly now and I'd rather eat some money and give them the upgrade then risk it. I think I could do it again by myself but it's not worth the hassle without help

Will also consider someone with low mileage suspension that will do a straight swap for the Konis/MS and cash. It would save me time to not take apart the spring/shock and reassemble and just swap full coilover units.

500 cash plus trade for your stock and you can take my low mileage dissaembled stock units home as well. This is a steal, the shocks are 550 by themselves new.

I installed Koni+Tein S-Tech 2 weekends ago, let it settle, and got it aligned yesterday. I can attest to the quicker turn-in from stock, and the quality of these shocks.

Hope you sell your stuff!

Thanks, if you want to stop by and help me pull em that'd be great :)

Would be willing to help but dont think I could use them my rear already rub every so often as it is. I need something stiffer but not lower.

i have my stockers. its just a matter of time and money. i have one but not the other :) i.e. i got the money...

I don't think there are any springs out there that are stiffer but not lowering. The MS is already the least amount of drop .8" and nearly double spring rates. If you're rubbing your wheels are just too big or the wrong offset. I ran a 17X9.5 with no problems.

If I pull them off the car I have them pending to someone out of state so if you're local and want these then speak up now.

Do you have the whole factory coilover that's still assembled? I see you have aftermarket springs but no upgrade shocks in your sig. If you have low mileage complete coilovers fully assembled pulled out of your car then I may be willing to just do the swap myself and sell them to you for a bit more.

I don't know what he's running if he's rubbing, something's wrong. With no negative camber, I didn't rub with 275/35-18 KDW's wrapping my 18x9.5 +45 RPF-1's, and that's a whole hell of a lot of tire. Now I'm -2.5 degrees in the rear and -1.5 degrees in the front and I'm still in the clear even at full lock. That's with the 1" drop from the Tein's as well...

PM returned.

I dont have the full coilovers. I have the shocks and aftermarket springs on. I have the springs seperate though...

That's what I figured, I'll probably have to end up taking everything apart and reassembling my stock units and already have a buyer if that's the case.

Bump

Last chance before I pull them out myself and sell them, anyone else Local that's interested in my deal speak up!

....Will probably pull these tomorrow
