my lowered rx8

 

^ Is that the extreme dimensions front bumper? Hows the fitment?

 

no its carbon creation... and i had to get it fitted and it fits very good. : )

 

Here's one you guys haven't seen... RS*R on OEM.

 

anyone have a picture of h-tech on dspecs??? or comments on that setup would be okay too. that's my plan for the near future, unless someone convinces me otherwise.

 

all the RSR pics you see are on OEM

 

can someone tell me one kind of rims are those?? thanks

 

they look like rota d2s which are copies of the Work meisters or SSR Professors

 

lulz i have RS*R on OEM look at the diffence between the front wheel gap of the white 8 next to me

 

the RS*R springs are quite a good fit on the 8. I like the drop it gives with the autobahn kit. I have been looking for a kit and have basically settled on it. First i want to lower my 8 and the RS*R is what i'm looking for. Great thread and images to get a good look at the placements.

 

Megan Racing on Koni Yellows

 

damn those megans on the konis is aggressive as ****!
how is the ride though? It seems like it would be really stiff.
If you got some spacers, it would be HellaFlush

 

it is a stiff ride but i wouldnt change it if i get a softer ride i'll rub my rear tires to **** im running 275s all around

 

anyone on H&R and OEM?

 

^its not on the first page?

 

nope just h&r on koni yellows.

 

updated.

 

2010 Sport on Stance GR+

 

Hey, this question has probably been answered, however, how quickly do lowered springs run through on OEM struts?

 

those are mazdaspeed rx8 rims

 

here is my 8 with s-techs on OEM Shocks

not sure if its pre-loaded:





and my tires are 245/45/18

 

Knowing the answer to that is almost impossible. Do they run through OEM struts? yes, is it due to compressing the strut past OEM specs at its idle setting, yes.

it can blow out today, it can blow out in 2 years, it can blow out in 10, really depends on the condition of your struts, the roads that you drive on, the driving habits that you practice, etc etc.

 

So there is no average time to destroy? Because I know our Audi struts can last forever with lowering springs...But apparently Mazda ones are very weak.

 

Ill upload mine when I get to a computer

 

Mazda shocks are actually really good and made by a reputable company. I think when you hear the horror stories of members blowing out their shocks with aftermarket springs its because they are trying to lower the car 2 inches with nothing but springs and then go on insane canyon runs on rough roads. I dont know of a solid average number.
