I wish there was a thread that compiled all of the lowering spring information with names of the springs and pictures of how much they dropped the car with and without aftermarket shocks.

Do some reading on the site man.

There really is a thread dedicated to springs etc, that has pictures, prices and specs. That's what eric is getting at.

|| Hey l00K lowering springs ||

learn to search and read the stickies, and the forum will become a happy place for you.

Yes, I do and I'm going back to stock. I hate scrubbing on every speedbump. I also want to put some aero on the car and I'm too low for that too.

Depends on the aero. You don't know what I got.
I can always cut the springs if it's not low enough.

Lower springs on an RX-8? That is just crazy. Don't do it man, it will void your warranty.

Any damage received from lowering the car will result in a void in warranty.

I couldn't get my catalytic converter replaced under warranty because they noted the damage was due to lowering springs. Car was too low i guess.

You can collapse the responses into 1 post. It's a bit cleaner.


Just a tip.

dont listen to these noobs. they know nothing, look at their post count. the best and fastest way of lowering your car is to cut your stock springs. the stock springs are the best on the market.
