Anyone notice a difference between Shinka and RX8 Handling?
I was wondering if the suspension improvements added to the Shinka edition can be felt while driving the car?

it is basic injected foam...you will not find a major difference and the foam will break down over time anyway
just upgrade your suspension...your AMAZING handling 8 will become evenmore amazing :D

actually, I believe they changed the sway bars for the SHINKA model, too. I'm wondering if this does anything to aid in the horrendous wheel-hop. There may be some difference when driving the car hard.

It's only a color/trim package, other than the fact that they went with slightly stiffer sway bars and filled in the transmission cross member with foam. That's it.
The wheel hop that our cars are notorious for is upon the launch. I mean a 6000 rpm launch. Instead of smoothly spinning, they bounce really hard.
