Stance GR+ Coilovers!
10/7, 10/6, 9/7, 9/6... you get the idea...
mr. pockets likes the 10/6 combo- which is also the combo i have.
with this coilover, i shaved off 2 seconds from my last track day from the same track, with same tires, same mods, etc etc.
they are great coilovers.
Hope this helps:
Alright so I made a video of how to setup the REAR RX8 coilovers. They have an unconventional design so I took the initiative to give you the basics.
Step 1: Reset all spring preloads
Step 2: Install on car
Step 3: Put car on ground and take baseline measurements
Step 4: Determine where you want the car to sit.
i.e. If car is ground to fender at 25" and you want 26", please note the 1" Difference or whatever the delta is on each corner.
Step 5: Put car back in air. Adjust front coilover lower brackets with their respective "delta" value. Meaning up or down 1", whichever direction. Since we're raising the car the bracket goes in a direction to "lengthen" the unit.
VIDEO WILL HELP YOU HERE" STEP 6
Step 6: REAR COILS: remove lower bolt so that the coilover has some room to drop the spring. you might need to remove a suspension arm to gain clearance. Remove spring, then loosen the small inner collar that remains so you can adjust the ride height/inner tube by 1".
Step 7: Once bracket is position and locked into place you can install the spring, washer, spring perch, and locking collar. Add the preload back to the spring.
HERE'S THE PROBLEM PEOPLE HAD AND NOW YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO VISUALIZE IT:
1. WHEN YOU RAISE OR LENGTHEN THE REAR DAMPER, IT REMOVES PRELOAD FROM THE SPRING SO YOU NEED TO ADD PRELOAD BACK TO IT.
2. WHEN YOU LOWER OR SHORTEN THE REAR DAMPER, IT ADDS PRELOAD TO THE SPRING SO YOU NEED TO LOOSEN IT BACK TO NORMAL PRELOAD.
BY RULE OF THUMB FOR THE REAR YOU SHOULD ALWAYS REMOVE PRELOAD OR SPRING ALTOGETHER BEFORE MAKING THE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENTS. THEN BUT THE SPRING BACK OR ADD PRELOAD BACK AFTERWARDS.

I thought I was the only one with this problem...guess not..
Not a big deal though, just had to take off the top bolts and switch it.
Oh BTW,
I've also made the request for them to chamfer the "mini collar" to adjust ride height. i noticed it was a bit raw and edgy. Also trying to get them to make a "mini spanner" wrench as well. Will keep you guys updated.
Thanks, Rishie

Apparently not, I just installed mine last week and the upper mounts were installed wrong. I didnt know this untill trying to push the coilover up and it would not go in the rear. But figured it out.

I just purchased a set too but haven't received mine yet... I still dont really see what needs to be switch to make the rears fit... Can someone please help elaborate some more? Thanks!
Finally got everything installed, tuned, and height adjusted! Now I just need alignment... Damn this took long, but it was all worth it!!! OMG what a difference! I can seriously say this was one of the best mods you can do for the 8
