Hi fellas. I'm going crazy trying to decide what to do here. I want to keep a relatively comfy ride, but I also want to lower my ride for appearance sake. Can anyone help me out?

Looking for pics that show off your H-tech spring drop.. or perhaps you eibach drop. Thanks

yup, that's all i can find as well...

 

you guys are killing me.

 

Look in the suspension section, DPE has a couple pics of their Ti car with the H techs and Koni's. And you could always ask them how they like it, or if they have any other pics.

 

i did, i got no response

 

I have had great response from them for the couple of questions I have asked them. You could try sending a PM to olddragger, he just installed them on his car, not sure if he has any pics yet. He wrote a couple good reviews on them too.

 

well i pmed him, only thing is I think the koni shocks will probably lower the car a bit more then it would be with the stock shocks right?

 

they are not supposed to, but some folks have claimed a slight settling with the koni's.

 

Here is mine with the stock shocks.

 

is that white door handles?

 

^aluminum door handles painted silver

 

that looks nice, do you perhaps have a few more? I appreciate it!

 

Not with the Teins H-Tech installed but tell me what you want to see and I will take some for you.

 

A shot straight from the side would be fantastic.

 

Check out page two of this thread: https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...6&page=1&pp=40. That has a picture of our Ti RX-8 with the H-Techs taken from the side, as well as some commentary about various springs, etc.

We really like the H-Techs. Only about 15% stiffer, so you retain a decent ride, but stiff enough and enough lower to notice a nice difference in handling and to eliminate the fender well gap. Pair with a good shock, like the Konis for example, and it really noticeably improves the car all around without really diminishing the ride quality too much (I think it cleans up the ride nicely with a firmer and more controlled ride, while others think it's a little bit harsher, so your mileage may vary).

 

I was looking into a drop also. I'm debating on the H-techs but I kind of like more of a drop like with the S-techs but I don't want to scrape everywhere I go either. I also have 19s so if anyone has any good pics w/ 19s and either the h/s techs, I would love to check them out. I know the diameter of my new wheels/tires is less then 3/4 inches taller so that may also make a difference.

 

Pic with 17" winters.

 

wow, that drop is perfect. Thank you so much man. Should be ordering them this week.

 

It does look like it evens the wheel well gaps up. Looks nice.

 

im showing up late but what exactlly is that drop??? that is a sweet looking 8 even when the winter tires on!!!

 

Here is mine with the Tein H springs. You may not see too much of a difference in drop. I would suggest Tein S springs.

 

I agree. That does look really nice. I already have springs/shocks in, but if i had seen this before i would have gone with the Tien H.

 

Sorry, I don't remember what the drop was, but I did research all the springs available for the car before I got the Tein H-Tech's. This is the drop I was looking for. I hope it'll be the same with Koni's I'm going to put later on.
And to get the idea, here is a stock pic.

 

hmmm, that drop is not as much. Interesting. Same springs, same car, different drop.
