I've looked around at the stickied thread for lowering and I mostly saw that there were springs, not coilovers.
I know springs can be cheaper but I've read that the ride quality is crap, unless it is different on the RX8.
Tell me more?

Take note that any modification to suspension may make the car run a bit more stiff, which depending on your application could be a "crap" ride. So if you are looking for maximum comfort with solid performance, stick with OEM.

I have Tein S-techs on stock shocks as well (20 or 30 thousand miles so far) and my shocks are totally dead. Really, I shouldn't be driving on them but I work 3 miles away now so whatever. My advice to you or anyone racing or daily driving is to save for coilovers. Even the cheap ones are at least made to work together as an assembly.

Oh my god... Monchie had good advice that actually serves a purpose other than raising his post count. I'm proud of you Monchie.
On topic... Like others have said, If you do go with springs, You will want good struts to go with them. Which is pretty much what coilovers are. No?

What gave you a chance of heart?
I run Koni Yellows with Tein-S springs. It's a pretty good combo IMO,
The Koni's are damping adjustable, I run mine pretty stiff and with the Teins it really has a lot better control than stock, no oversteer/understeer so the suspension geometry is similar to stock. (I believe that's what it's called)
Personally If I had to do it again, I would have gotten coilovers as they are fully adjustable and if you decide to upgrade to a different offset of rims, you won't have to worry about rolling your fenders or anything, just adjust the height accordingly.
