Alright. I am finally ready to pull the trigger on the Racing Beat springs and sway bars, buit my question is for a daily driver, should I bother with the Konis? I know they are better for handling, for for the daily grind is it something that I should leave for the track?

 

Higher spring rates require higher damping rates to maintain current handling qualities... So adjustable shocks are a good idea.

 

I spoke to one of the sales staff at Racing Beat before ordering springs for my 2009 RX8. When asked if I would need to upgrade my shocks to after market ones, he said that I would not need to do so because the spring rate increase of the Racing Beat springs are within the specification range of the stock shocks/struts. He did however state that their customers have had the best results with Tokico shocks while using Racing Beat springs.

 

Great! Our oem shocks are Tokicos!

 

There is a big difference between the Tokico OEM shocks and the Tokico adjustable aftermarket ones.The aftermarket ones are what the RB rep was referring to.

 

doh! I failed to show my sarcasm :P
