I reckon the suspension is great - I don't find any body roll and don't know where all the reports of that were coming from. The car goes exactly where you point it.

I have heard of all of those, they are the best of the best, however H&R may or may not make coilovers for the RX-8. If I have a european car, I would definately go H&R - nothing like German quality.

hmm. I'd have to say after watching the video of the laguna seca time trial, some good springs, shocks, and anti-sways are in order. The car really did seem to sway quite a bit.

Nice, I'm running Tein HA's now and they are awesome. Especially at the track with the firmness at 90%.
I realize that the stock suspension is probably very good when compared to most of the cars out there, but there is nothing like a custom designed full coilover racing suspension like Tein or JIC. Any word on pricing?

Tein HAs are the perfect setup for a regularly driven street car that sees alot of track time. I haven't been in a car where they haven't worked well.

Yeah.. I have them set on about half stiff for the street which is a good compromise, any more than that and the ride becomes unbearable, especially with my 45 series tires. That's what you get for riding on 660 lb springs.
