Custom FatCatMotorsports Bilstein Coilovers
Category: Steering & Suspension
Price: $1000
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Location (US State/Canada/Int): CA
Item Condition: Used
They started life as brand new Bilstein dampers that were shipped to FatCat to be revalved. The development for these coilovers was extensive: two years were spent perfecting these coilovers. The damping curve has been adjusted four different times and the spring rate has been changed once, always with the goal of providing better handling with a smoother ride. These coilovers are amazing in that they provide unbelievable handling while maintaining a very good ride. My friend compared them favorably to the suspension that comes in his Porsche 911.
The last service for these coilovers was 8,000 miles ago when all the seals were refreshed and a slight adjustment was made in the damping curve to provide a better ride. Since I sold my RX-8, I'm putting up for sale my custom Bilstein coilovers. Out of all the mods on my RX-8, these are undoubtedly my favorite and I'll be sad to have to see them go.
Everything is included in the kit:
- Custom Valved Bilstein Dampers with Threaded Inserts
- Front 7 kg and Rear 5 kg tapered springs designed to fit stock tophats
- Tender springs
- FatCatMotorsports Bumpstops
New RX-8 coilovers from FatCatMotorsports start at $2,202. Save over $1,200! Asking $1,000 and will ship at your expense, though local pick-up is preferred. Located in Los Angeles, CA.

The interest in these exceeded all expectations, but they are now sold. I am definitely sad to see these go as they were the original, very first, FCM RX-8 coilovers. Thank you!
