Hello all,
Proud owner of an 09 R3 and would like to know of any good suppliers for tein lowering springs..
I've searched on here and various online sites but not much luck finding anyone reliable enough since model yrs are different and they don't specify much.
Unless I'm missing the point and all springs 04-up are the same regardless of model and strut comparison from stock bilstein to sport?
Any help would be great.
Thanks.

You are missing something. Search more.

You're in the right section... Look at some of the other threads. The answer is there.

Thanks, I've been on hpf before.
Now does that fit the 09-11 R3?
They say 03-up and there are other suppliers who mention 04-08 as well.....
Hence my confusion....

Hence why you should search and read more and then you won't be confused.

Obviously?
I'm not new to forums nor am I new to Mazda so please avoid the stupidity.

I've seen your FS threads on various items including springs - none of which stated where you sourced them from, nor are there any currently for sale - and those which were only stated fitment for S1.

The whole point of this thread was to identify who I could order the correct item (for an S2 R3) from a reliable supplier.

Thanks.

The only stupidity is you asking to be spoon fed info that you are being to lazy to research yourself.

I was alluding to the fact there is/was a set of brand new S techs for sale in the FS section for $130.00 as of this morning.

If you would search you would find out the differences between the S2 and SII suspension setups and what springs are available for purchase for them. We have vendor section or you could just Google shop them and see what you come up with. Don't just ask questions and then take the first answer you get

Clearly I'm not on this forum 24/7 like you are to know the time and date of an FS item.

I'm not asking to be spoon fed either like I started a thread to ask what an S2 is or some other general question?

Its not the information here thats puzzling me - its the supplier's information that seems to be unclear.
For ex: Supplier A: 04-08, Supplier B: 03-up, Supplier C: 04-10

Its merely asking any of you to point in the right direction before possibly purchasing the wrong item.

You are asking to be spoon fed because the info you seek is already here. If you would search, you would find it. This is not a Q&A forum.

The springs are the same for all model years, there are no specific springs for the Series II Rx-8's and the years are different because the RX-8 was released in different years in certain countries. Got it?

Now, how do you know the info I just gave you is true?

terrace85

If you read my first statement in original post it would say that I have an R3. People have claims of certain springs doing the opposing effect on these models.

If you cannot help, just avoid replying to this thread instead of being impolite.

Read those threads. All 4. From start to finish. Then make up your mind.

Like I said before. The info is there.

You cannot always rely on 3rd party vendors to know what they are talking about.

terrace85

Lol Thanks! I've read the 3rd and 4th threads before when I first bought the car so this is some info I already knew.
Just the mix-up of vendors info threw me off.
