The color red in a RX8 looks hot! Reminds me of XDEEDUBBSX car before. I wish i picked red. That's okay, i like the color white too.

random question.. usually I search and in fact this is my frist question on this site, but those megan racing springs on the koni shocks... thats pretty damn low... will those springs on OEM shocks not be such a ginormous drop? cause I ordered them and now i'm thinking i should machine some spacers haha

I realize that hence why i said "coilovers" I was just to lazy to make my own thread or dig up an old one. But there is always one complainer

Not a stupid question at all. You will not rub your tires on a 2.00" drop. I have stock rims and tires and im slammed almost to the max on my coils and im still not rubbing. but the camber is terrible lol. But no you will not rub!

This maybe the wrong thread and please point me in the right direction if needed be.

I have been searching through this thread awhile and I think I want to get the Megan Racing springs. I was probably going to keep the stock shocks for awhile or maybe even get a pair after Xmas, and I am gonna be on stock wheels. Will I need a camber kit?

Currently, I have just the Meagan Racing springs on stock shocks. No camber kit. However they were already on here when I bought the car.

Quick question to those running lowering springs and OEM shocks.

Does a 30mm drop on decent springs (tein as an example) improve, worsen or keep the handling the same as stock.

Thanks

Improves it, that is the whole point of it. Ride quality will be a little more harsh depending on spring choice.

found drop and spring rate but they are not confirmed and the spring rates seem way off.

Mazdaspeed: 280/190 - Drop = 0.8"/0.8"

drop seems good.
