I got them and I love them. IMO, they give the 8 the perfect drop.

Yeah I think it'd be safe to say it's the most popular on here. Not the best, but most popular. I have them too...

Great first post OP

they're good, I would recommend also doing shocks at the same time of the install.

I have them but my car is not sitting right. I gotta adjust the front control arms so it sits lower in the front.. However not really sure how to fix the rear.. it just sits to high.

Well everyone calls it preloading.. but thats not really the proper term.

Which I have not done yet. However you cant do that to the rear so I dunno on that part.

^true - i forgot what the other term was for it

I'd like to know what the issue is as I've seen something similar to other owners. I always thought it was just an issue of the springs just not settling in or something w/the bushings.

There is a thread titled...wait for it...wait for it...springs springs springs. SEarch and you shall find out what is out there for springs on your RX8 and what will be best for your needs.

My $0.02. Buy the best most expensive setup you can afford. And only if someone else already has one and loves it. It saves you a ton of money and hassle in the end.

Nothing is better than a great suspension setup on this car and nothing is worse than a bad suspension setup on this car.
