Pictures! We determined the top collars on the front coilovers were absolutely unnecessary, so all SE3P production coilovers will NOT have this perch. See the "Calling All Powertrix RX8's!" thread for more pictures here -> http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=223725

For anyone looking at these, it's an awesome deal.
I guess here's my little review in a nutshell:
I've had mine on the car for a bit now and am pleased with the performance on both the street and track. Car feels rock solid and much sportier. Plus you can go as low as you want or stay at stock height, the adjustability is awesome.

lol - gaddamn you tilt

What I do Paris? :tear:

don't have enough money to get a coilovers :(.

^Unfortunately, I do. However, this will bump me out of C Stock, and the only other mod I have is the Agency Power 32mm solid(Sounds like I won't even be close to competitive in STX, though I'm also not really for the class I'm in now, anyway..). I haven't even had a chance to fully test that bar out on a stock car yet though. I doubt I'll need to run that beefy thing with these though. It'd definitely kiss any body roll goodbye if I did.

Is it bad though, my heart's pounding thinking about buying these? I think I will, but I kind of wanna run these last two events in C Stock... But if I bought them now, and held off on installing them, and had them sitting here beside me, it'd kill me too.

Btw, if you mention that they can be here before/on Friday, I will beat you with my sway bar.

BUY THEM!

If you want to run C-Stock so bad then just finish out the season. If not they'll just be that much more expensive when you do decide to take the plunge.

Ah, screw it, I'm gonna give in to temptation.

If they can be here in time for the next event, I'll throw them on.

Sign me up for a set of those purdy green and blacks, like a boss.

I'll update OP when I get to a PC! Thanks!

FWIW, all in-stock coilovers *will* be going to full retail price after this sale is over!

Where do i find the coilovers after teh dealy-o? found their website but theres no rx8 or even mazda section....

Would love to get some of these but im about $433 short...... :(

Daeity - It is still something that is being worked on. For now, if any are available after this sale, they can be purchased via PM with me.

I have a couple of shipping quotes going out later today! These last sets may be spoken for soon!

Can I just pick them up from you in So Cal?

Will Call in San Diego wouldn't be a problem!

PM me if interested :icon_tup:

The current reservations/pending orders will be good until 10/13 @ 11:59 PM PST! At that point, these pending orders will be removed and the sets will be up for grabs if payment has not cleared.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions :wavey:

If anyone was wishing to purchase these @ GB pricing, hold tight; if any of the pending orders cancelled, these sets will be available starting 10/14!

Wow, all four might be spoken for already. Ftw.

These certainly seem to sell quickly at this cost.

If anyone is interested, please do not hesitate to PM me. At the moment, the above are pending so if any of them do not pay, we may have 1-2 spots open!

We will likely be doing another GB in the future so for those of you interested but fearful you may miss out, there is always next time.

Three confirmed paid, one still pending!

If this last Pending go to Paid, it looks like the rest of you will need to wait for Group Buy Round 2!

These have all been confirmed PAID and are SOLD OUT!

Please keep an eye out for the next group buy or PM me for more details!

I know me too haha looking for a fender roller as we await....

I did mine on my own with a rubber mallet and about 2 hours each fender..lol

lol you gotz skillz but im scared to do that...:scared:

Yeah I like doing things on my own..lol

Well i can do all my electrical but when it comes to body work im all dazed and dumfounded

Wtf?! U suck..lol..I'm the other way around, I suck so much at electrical..lol

I'm the same way, I can do electrical work, but I guess I'm more scared of screwing up the body, because it's so obvious.

I can't wait to get them here though, still. Just sucks, they'll be starting right at the beginning of my work week, and I work the next 4 days almost all day. But they've gotta be on by Friday..

Wtf?! U suck..lol..I'm the other way around, I suck so much at electrical..lol

lol Im more of a mechanical brain that a design brain. but what is the concept of rolling a fender? do you make it wider? not too keen on it

lol that is true if you screw up electrical you can tap it again and wrap it in tape and tuck it away lol the body not so much :D lol same but that is just for a test fit they wont go on until spring sometime when i get my wheels....dont know if i want MR116, OZ HTL reds, or Volk RE30s.....hrmm dam this mod virus dam it to hell!

A roll is so you ti won't scrape, you roll the tiny little flat metal piece of the fencer on the bottom. Then there's a fender pull, that's when you actually pull it out

So, I got a certain large box in the mail today. I'll post pics when my internet's back up, using my phone again.

Dont know if i want to run them this close to winter though :(

Maybe Just run theeeeem! Then again maybe u got snow, my winter feels like summer here..lol

And coilover got to my house...but no one was home :( gotta wait until tomorrow now Then again

Yeah, thankfully I had someone home. I can't wait till tomorrow morning. Hopefully it'll go smooth, unlike the sway bar install I did.

Ugh, wish I had edit. But heck, they were put on a Fedex truck Saturday morning at 3:30am, right down the street, and I had to wait until last night to get them. Could've had them installed over the weekend.._

lol i know how you feel I live near a UPS distribution center

so here i am, sitting in my drive way, rolling fenders and waiting on fed ex..lol

Fuuuuuu, that box is heavy..lol

Just an fyi, my car is on the ground. Literally.

Apparently, you can go low enough to not make it out of a driveway. Gonna have to raise them in the morning to get out to go get an alignment, haha.

lol, nice....i didnt even adjust mine, just took them out the box and put them on, 0 gap but wanna go more low.

do we got to break these in like other or no? and will they little settle and get lower or not? wanna know to see if i should wait or just dump it more tomorrow

Mine settled like a quarter of an inch maybe. I preloaded the control arm bushings real good though, depends on how well you did the install.

I finally got my ride height and adjustments down yesterday after having them installed for a week to let them settle. My stock wheels were super tucked lol. Can't wait to get my spacers and install those.

Don't forget to post here after your installs! http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=223725

Is there a way to adjust the rears without having to take them off completly? Kinda how u can do the front.

I believe you've gotta get the extenders. Does anyone have any pics of those installed? I can reach the knob, but not quite well enough to turn it. And what are the green ones for, and how are they installed?

And, Firestone said my car was too low to drive into their bay, haha. Gotta raise her a bit. I'll post pics tonight.

i ment adjust it like height wise..lol..and yeah i got the extenders but didnt take a picture of them..lol..and i think the little green ones are like the tops of the front knobs but they dont fit with the stock bar

When I adjusted my rears I didn't have to take them all the way out. I just loosened it enough so I could pop the end off and twist it.

thanks! :D ill do my rears tomorrow then, i lowered the front about 2 more inches now, may be a bit to low..lol..the plastic from the fender is sitting on the tire..lol

Oh and when you go to twist it, take all the preload off the spring so it's just sitting there. If you have tension on it, the upper height adjustment threads will spin as well so you won't get an accurate count of how many spins you did. Make sure the only thing going around is the lower set of threads. You will have to keep backing off the preload washers as well because when you shorten up the coilover they'll want to start preloading the spring as well.

:scratchhe thanks man! 1st set ive ever had so im learning as i go..lol..front could not for the life of me do them while on the car so i just took them off, didnt count threads, just measured the distance between the locks..lol

When I did the fronts I backed off the ride height lock nut and the spring perch lock nut and tightened those two together and then used the wrench to turn it... if that makes sense

yeah i was trying to figure it out but it got dark so i just took them off real quick and did this, im still gonna keep learning then, probably tomorrow when i do the rears

Rears are kind of a PITA to adjust quickly by yourself, probably wouldn't hurt to have another set of hands if your gonna do it on the car. At least my experience with the rears was a PITA but I might have been doin it wrong.

to adjust my rears, as was posted earlier, i just loosened the bolts in the trunk and was able to slide the bottom of the coilover off the stud and turn. again, watch that the whole coilover isn't spinning when you are making ride height adjustments. it took me a second to realize waht was going on.

i have my rears setup perfectly right now, my front is a bit low. gonna finish it up today and then take a picture of what it looks like. so far, i'm very pleased with the coilovers.

An extra pair of hands will definitely make things easier! It looks like the questions have been answered, you guys are good!

we got some pros here! lol..and yeah there was more than enough people wanting to help me install, it was 6 of us..lol

ETA on the next available sets?
