04 rx8 modifications

This is the first of many post. I have a good amount of cash laying around and I want to mod my rx8. I just bought it around a month ago. Its has 100k miles and compression is still amazing. Besides that everything is stock.
I want some mods that will improove my performance such as what engine would be a good rotary to turbo/supercharge. And other performance mods.
also want some cosmetic mods such as what springs/coil overs/ struts should I put on it? I want to lower it 1-2 inches.

My first thought is "how do you know the compression is amazing?", because most new owners have no clue about how an RX-8 should really feel, and what feels good to them is actually failing. Hopefully you have a compression test that tells you that the numbers are good.

But, I would first recommend spending time/money on making sure the compression stays good, with replacing any original cooling components (bottle, radiator, thermostat, coolant lines), FL-22 coolant, plugs, coils, wires, transmission/diff fluids, brake/clutch fluid, clean and reset MAF and ESS, and clean battery connections and secure properly. Get a SOHN adapter and stop injecting dirty 4-stroke.

Once you have the reliability all solid, then start here for mods you want: https://www.rx8club.com/new-member-f...rx-8-a-233937/
