Like my earlier post... just be aware that changing the springs alone may damage your shocks/dampers in time to come. If you wanna change your suspension setup, best is the change the whole coilover. My 2c.

Come to think of it, I've read about the difference in the suspension for 6MT and 4AT during the early days of when Japan launching the 8. But after which not much mention of that... so m not sure if that's still the case thought....

As for spring, so long as one dont go with too high a spring rates, you should be ok to stay with the OEM shock. Remember reading somewhere try to stay not more than 30% stiffer than stock.

NO WONDER!!!

I've always thought that the MTs seems to have a lower profile than the ATs!! Finally I can be certain that I'm not "pak jiao" ( ****-eyed )!! :D

Few times I mentioned that other Rx8s seem to be lower than mine and the response I got was that they have the front-lips, making the car look lower!! Seems that I really need to look at the suspensions to make my car go lower...

But then, so many brands/makes again!! Anyone can suggest something best for ride comfort?? :D
