Air Suspenison? Body Kits?
 
ok i am planning on getting an rx8 but already know all the stuff of mpg ect, recalls, but was wondering here in so cal there are a lot of streets that have steep inclines and lots of speed bumps that sometimes actually scratch or damage the bottom of low cars, and was wondering i am planning on getting a body kit this one to be exact
http://www.raceonusa.com/index.asp?P...OD&ProdID=4749
and was wondering is it possible to put air suspension on an rx8? what brand or model you you recomend? also should i do it during warranty or after? also i am planning on getting an 06 AT black leather rx8 what price should i bargain for? 23k possible? and are there ways to boost up your mpg? ect tires ect.?

yes ofourse... but air suspensions will absolutely ruin your handling and make it handle like an SUV... do you really want that? its costly too..

Air suspension...out of curiousity, what was your last car?

you're handling will suck but if you don't care, then go for it... my car is pretty low, but i can survive going through many places as long as i angle excessively. that's about the only way to go around with a lowered ride with springs.
but since you're gettin an auto, and want it very low, i'd say your going all show? if so, go bags if you want...

have fun going back to the shop every other month getting your bags, lines, compressors, etc fixed..and no to mention new tires every 8-10k miles...

SayNoToPistons 08-29-2006 01:21 AM

^ There was one posted with the burnout kit not too long ago.. it was white.. a member of rx8club... disgusting.

BlueSky 08-29-2006 01:55 AM

wtf, air suspension?

NgoRX8 08-29-2006 02:03 AM

there was also a ... gray ings kit on air bags too. somewhere on here.

BoosTED 08-29-2006 02:09 AM

Air bag suspension gives a very stiff ride, right?

SayNoToPistons 08-29-2006 09:19 AM

^ Depends... some air rides feel like youre in a town car... only air rides ive been in, but they werent slammed to the floor. but still, its disgusting on a rx8. on a JDM turbo'd van? maybe. on a sports car? no.

like others here said, do you really want screw up your handling. if speed bumps is whats getting you, just approach them at a angle and you wil be fine.

silverwolf 08-29-2006 09:42 AM

ya you can replace it every month if you get a kit off of ebay... man look into the good kits and it actually is not bad. ESPECIALLY if you live there. man those downhills to flat slopes will kill a car with no body kit. there are scratch marks on the pavment from stock cars grinding. get the air ride suspension ( a good kit) dont skimp or you will pay for it.

Razz1 07-22-2008 12:16 AM
