Front2/ this material is rubber. This picture take my RX-8 in my house. daedelgt 04-27-2003, 11:08 AM Nice ground clearance. Plenty of room to lower. MikeW 04-27-2003, 03:51 PM Can you put some weight in the car and see how much the car is lowered? How about 3 friends, a full tank of fuel (petrol), and some cargo in the trunk (boot)? If not this, how about 500 kilos worth of ballast, weight lifting weights on the floor and trunk? What I am getting at is what is the spring rates like? soft, hard? Thanks EAST MOON 04-28-2003, 06:36 AM Originally posted by MikeW Can you put some weight in the car and see how much the car is lowered?

This car is Normal "standard suspension". thanks Cihuuy 04-28-2003, 09:47 AM I also would like to know if the suspession is good. how stiff is it? I've tried my girlfrens new car, BMW 330i, and damn the suspension is really stiff!!! i didnt really like it as it has a bumpy ride. :( But for cornering, it is damn stable.

Maybe RX-8(standard suspension) is................................................ .................................................. ...........softer than my previous car "unos road star",that suspension is T-TEIN.:D I'm still driving only the city part of Tokyo.and Under the 'breaking in' thanks wakeech 04-28-2003, 01:46 PM Originally posted by EAST MOON Maybe RX-8(standard suspension) is softer than my previous car "unos road star",that suspension is T-TEIN.:D ...he's saying that the RX-8's Standard dampers and springs are softer than his Eunos Roadster with (aftermarket?) Tien components... but, i gather there would be plenty of cars with a softer suspension than that... ;) tribal azn2 04-28-2003, 02:52 PM damn that shit needs a drop bad. second mod will be springs fo sho |
