1. Which springs are best? -This topic has been beaten to death 400times over. Use the search button.
2. What steps should I take in lowering my RX8 propery? - Yet again, the search feature could find about 20 threads with specific directions on how to install/remove springs and shocks on an RX8.

SEARCH-> Suspension/springs/reviews
SEARCH-> Suspension/Install springs/DIY

Dont get pissey because no one answered your question... you should have done your homework.

I dont have time to sift through miles of threads. I work for a living, unlike some people.

Check out DPE on the vendor forum...and search. Which springs are the best is a totally subjective question based on what you are looking for. Do you want absolute handling with no ride comfort compromise? Do you want to autocross it or road course track it?

As mentioned above there are a bunch of threads with lots of good info. Check them out and they will help you decide what's best for your needs.

I work for a living as well, but you certainly have time enough to do this:

1. Search>
Narrow by 'TITLE'>
Spring review (insert spring name)
-ENTER-
Begin browsing

2. Search>
Narrow by 'TITLE'>
Spring install
-ENTER-
Begin browsing

If these mods or the money youre spending on them are of any impoprtance to you, you'll do your own research and find your own answers.

In all the time youve spent hitting that refresh button to respond to this thread you could have had your answers. Yet again I say, dont get pissey with people because YOURE too lazy to do your own research.

Wow!!! I don't think anyone was trying to be a smart @$$ when they just told you to so a search. but i know, i know you're a working man and none of the rest of us are, that's right that's why alot of us have alot of $$$ invested in our 8's, and apperantly you're not making enough money working, because if you did you'd lower your car with coilovers and not springs.

Since you're so busy with work and all, and don't understand how to "properly" lower a car, maybe you should just take it to a shop.

Wouldn't the use of the SEARCH function actually speed up the overall process of sifting, allowing you to more quickly resume your vitally important "work"? Would it be illogical to assume at this point that you're a liberal, and thus likely to use an invalid argument in a futile attempt to prove WHY you were so lame as to NOT search in the first place?

I'm just sayin', that's all...

Reading that egregious abuse of the English language just lowered my IQ by about 100 points...

Best springs for what purpose? Autocross, Track, Rally, etc?
Put 2 bags of grain into your trunk, that should lower it by an inch, if not enough add accordingly.
