I've come to the same conclusion. Looking at coilover options at this point.

I'm happy with the OEM springs. Mostly because I'm staying in CS

If you're looking for the most options for adjustability, coilovers are pretty much the only option.

struts?

not unless you're talking about some other car. the RX-8 doesn't have struts; it has shocks.

anyway, D-specs are OK for the street, but aren't your best choice for autoX.

I've heard that koni yellows are the best, as far as springs, its whatever you want, i don't reccomend going too stiff, but after dealing with coilovers im sure you know that.

It's hard to go "too stiff" with aftermarket springs on the RX-8. It's actually the opposite problem, given what is available.

Judging by your question, I'm not sure that will help you a whole lot. All Hyperco does is wind wire into helixes. They don't have a set of RX-8 springs, and none of their springs will fit on your Tokicos without some modification.
