I think it was Fanman, but someone did a pretty good thread about Springs a while back, you could either link to that one or use it to build on this one.

thanks, Ill look for that thread. I did a small search before I started and I did not find anything, but I could have searched harder then I did. :)

I think a swaybar swaybar swaybar thread is next :)

Thats a lot of springs!

DMP (A vendor) has posted spring rates in several threads. I'll try and find that one and put a link here:

Here's the info
All numbers taken either from the manufacturer, or from other posts on this forum. Some we can verify, and a few we can't. Just keep that in mind. . .

Stock 'Sport' Suspension spring rates on the RX-8 are 156/113 (F/R)
Mazdaspeed: 280/190
Tein S-Tech: 207/145
Tein H-Tech: 179/129
Tanabe GF: 179/146
Tanabe NF: 162/112
Racing Beat: 187/136
Eibach: 180/130 (progressive, so this varies a bit)
H&R: 195/141 (progressive, so this varies a bit)


As for the question on coilovers, all aftermarket adjustable 'coilovers' come with a shock and spring. The more expensive ones also come with the upper mount, usually of the 'pillowball' variety (a spherical metal bushing in a metal plate rather than the rubber top mounts that most cars use from the factory). Tein Basics, for example, re-use the OEM top mounts and a few of the small hardware bits. Tein Flex do not re-use any of the OEM coilover assembly. The aftermarket coilovers also come with proprietary springs, so one would never use their OEM springs with their new coilovers. Hopefully that makes sense?

Heres the link

updated.... thanks!

SpringTech

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SPRIN...66738012QQrdZ1

here is the link to all the info... with drops.... and yes i reqested it all be in one place.....

https://www.rx8club.com/showpost.php...53&postcount=1

so search, search, search might have been better....

the info is out there...

beers :beer:

yeah i know, I saw that post already. but if you look at my list, there are a lot more info in my list.

also, my list has prices. so maybe read read read is what you should do. :)

i like my list better...... so there. :bootyshak :)

time to add a second column so that the first post doesn't scroll all the way down the page. Maybe put them in alphabetical order.

ok,
i will bite... the prices are for where??? are these retail??? ebay. pulled out of your ass????? :eek: :)

unless you link to the price they are worthless....

the info is good but been done.... i am happy that you are thrilled with your thread.....

just like flywheels flywheels flywheels.... it is helpful, but the info is already there....

what is next washer fluid washer fluid washer fluid????

btw, i have read, read, read. that is how i know where this stuff is:wallbash:

beers :beer:

and I am happy you have no problem with finding the info by searching through multiple threads. I thought I would be a nice guy and put all the info in the same F#$in place, so that people that are interested in getting a lot of info in one single constanty updated post. (not just thread)

I have been told by several people that they are thankfull someone finally put ALL info in ONE thread. as I said before, there are other threads that are close, but a lot of them are missing some info. like the spring thread you just posted, it only has 9 springs, mine has 18. if you can count that means I have TWICE as much info as your all mighty thread you posted.

Just as much info as the link you posted, AND MORE.

seriously man, if you dont like the fact that I put all the info in one place, dont look in my threads. is it really that hard for you to just keep to your self? I mean come on, what did I do to you? does this thread really bother you that much?

if you have a problem with the places I got the prices, or simply would like me to add a link, all you have to do is ask. not tell me how stupid this thread is without a link. but since searching the entire internet for info is what you like to do, then why dont you just search for the prices I posted?

wow,
the copys from dpe have been given twice...

still you have not bothered to upgrade anything...

still losts of ? drop

more ? spring rate... before you ? me. you should update you shit.... two of us have given you .75% of the info...

it is out there, if you are going to make a total collection do it....

right now you are lacking....

and once again... the prices come from where?

beers :beer:

you want to be the big dog??? lead....

but so far the two links make you late and lazy...

:yesnod:

ok I must be missing something then. in the link you posted https://www.rx8club.com/showpost.php...953&postcount=1
there is nothing on that list I dont have on my list already...... so what are you talking about?

yes my list is not perfect yet, that is the point in letting everyone add what they know so I can add it all to the list...... just like when Kwescott added springtech, now springtech is on the list.

yes there is a lot of "?" marks. but that is because I have not seen any info on that. by all means if you have more info feel free to add. if not, shut up. :nono:

I never claimed trying to be the big dog, simply trying to put every spring in one location. I still dont see the harm in that. :bootyshak

swoope could have accomplished the same goal by providing a suggestion for the thread, and that would be to post links next to prices. Rather, he took the easy way, sounding like a forum troll and making rediculous comments...this thread has been done, blah, blah, blah. This is not a discussion thread. If you don't find it useful, then don't subscribe. See yah around swoope.

Amen brotha.... that's what i kept trying to say.
all he had to do is ask or suguest, and not be a pecker about it.

I even said several times that I was not done, but I had to start someplace.


anyways, more info has been added. if anyone has anything to add, just add it and I will update the first post.

Do you guys also need someone to hold your hand while you piss too? :rolleyes:

can we get back to springs please?

what does that have to do with anything? do you post just to get your count up or something?

yep! :p:

Hey - I should

Try that

too :angel:

wow,
gave you the link and you still have the drops wrong....

note. the tanabe springs can have only one drop.... not a range of drop.... they are not coilovers... (btw i gave you the link for the answer to the ? )

if you are going to be the god.... own up..

after you get that part fixed i will give you the next hint.

beers :beer:
