Adding MS lowring springs to Shinka
I just recently purchased an 05 Shinka with only 17k miles on it!
I was thinking about installing the MazdaSpeed lowering springs but was not sure how that would work with the suspension tuning that was done to the 05 Shinka. I've gone over a few threads regarding suspension but nothing in regards to the 05 Shinka.
Anyone have any input on this?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Definitely can. Generally with those springs the Mazdaspeed (or other aftermarket) shocks are recommended as the stock shocks will wear out much quicker. Not sure if the special Shinka shocks would be sufficient..

good question.
I'd assume the stock shinka shocks would suffice, since the shafts are 2mm beefier in diameter than on the normal rx8 shocks. I plan to use Eibachs with my stock shocks after my warranty is up.
