If you want an aggressive stance that will elminate the wheel gap, get the Tein S-Techs. They have a 1.4" drop in the front and a .7" drop in the rear. If you want more of an even drop, go with Eibach, they will give you a 1.2" drop all around.

WVBoosted8 06-19-2008 08:39 PM

Yeah im looking for the same thing you are as soon as I get my wheels/ms kit. I like the stance the s-techs give the car.

04wb8 06-19-2008 08:39 PM

thanks i was also looking at tanabe gf but i think that might be a little too low

X Rx8 06-19-2008 08:42 PM

I'd go with Tein S-Techs.

WVBoosted8 06-19-2008 08:47 PM

Either that or the tanabe NF210 since they dont change the springrate that much

04wb8 06-19-2008 08:52 PM

yeah those were my first choice then i was thinking maybe id want to go a little bit lower in the rear

Razz1 06-19-2008 11:39 PM

Where's the strakes?

04wb8 06-19-2008 11:44 PM

why get strakes?

WVBoosted8 06-19-2008 11:44 PM

I just bought some s-techs for 180 shipped. Seems like the best deal I could find.

04wb8 06-19-2008 11:46 PM

whered you order those from?

briann 06-20-2008 12:57 AM

Kinda off topic, but howd you mount your front plate?
Did you just drill through the bumper?

PM Lazi for springs, he can get you an awesome deal. better than $180 too probably.

04wb8 06-20-2008 02:12 AM

he actually qouted me for 184.90 for tanabe gf shipped

ca18detsilvia 06-20-2008 09:45 AM

I have the tein s-techs on the stock shocks and I am very happy with them. I love the drop it gives the car a little more of a rake. I think the Eibachs drop the rear too much. When my buddies car is beside mine, the Eibachs lmake the front end too high in my opinion.

SideOfBacon 06-20-2008 09:58 AM

Eibachs

I asked em before I purchased and he quoted 218 shipped. Id love to support the rx8 community by buying them from him but thats 38$ i could throw into something else :/

dozer 06-20-2008 11:19 AM

04wb8 06-20-2008 11:24 AM

i myself just prefer the even drop across the car, versus the front being lower than the rear. everyone has their own preference though.

04wb8 06-20-2008 02:20 PM

yeah im actaully still undecided now that i think a bout it

04wb8 06-20-2008 02:24 PM

i think ill just by new rims and tires and call it a day
