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.

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.

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

I'd go with Tein S-Techs.

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

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

Where's the strakes?

why get strakes?

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

whered you order those from?

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

yes i just drilled through the bumper

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

he actually qouted me for 184.90 for tanabe gf shipped

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.

Eibachs

rsr springs....

Sprint springs 2inch drop....

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 :/

gas....

yeah i think im going with the s techs

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

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

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

I love my Tanabe GF 210s. Lowered the car nicely...it is low, but easily clear all normal stuff on the road. Quick elevation changes (i.e. steep driveways to a roadway) are not good so if that is a problem, you should be ready to adjust something.

The install is actually really fun too. I had a blast and feel like I understand our suspension (and suspension as a whole) much better.

2 jack stands
2 spring compressors (Autozone=free rental)

Wrench Set (metric of course)

The DIY here is awesome...
DIY for many things

Have fun...I'll try to remember to post pictures this weekend to give you a looksee

please share where you got them for $180 shipped. I am curious as well. Thanks

okay yeh thatd be nice if you took some pics.
he got them from ebay the seller has no more in stock.

If you want to eliminate wheel gap get Sprint springs. They drop roughly 2". I have the MS bumper and sides and let me tell it's low, so be prepared to scrape.

thats the thing i dont really wanna scrape its my daily driver.

Yeah, I found them on ebay. Theres another seller selling them for the same price but he seems to have a problem getting them to his bidders :/

get the stechs. i put mine on today and i'm lovin the stance

post pics once they settle

got em used so pre-settled.. will wash the car tomorrow and post up

aight sounds good. ill be on after work i get off at 7 tomorrow

CW, can you post a picture of the side of your car on sprints?

i've been considering them.

ive got 5 inches of ground clearance one the front and sides the back is a lil bit more just for now til i get the rear bumper on
