I also added Fluid Motorspots to every spring they carry on the first post.

that would be AWESOME!!!
Are they going to do it?

Yes they are funding the project for the street Spring, I am funding the Track Spring so we will be exclusive for Progress Springs.

oh thank god.. someone took a hint.
:-)

Make sur eyou let me know when thay are available. I will add then to the first post. :^)

Will do.

Thanks

Thanks Fluid Motorsports!

i have some swift springs out of the box right now that i KNOW are for an 8, if i can be of any assistance with measurements or pictures.

Swift Springs

Spring Rates 207lbs / 129 lbs

Drop: -0.8 Front and Rear

Quick addition for the Swift Springs. They are progressive in the rear from 90-129 lbs/in. From their website spec. sheet.

Yes, forgot about that.

Thanks

ok, so I did a major update to the first post.

non working links deleted.
Prices updated
info added.

wow... that was a lot of changes. :-/

So the Sprint Springs are very close to the Mazdaspeed coil rates.

This thread is great and is a big help to a RX8 noob like me. It is sort of burried, tho... Actually was only able to find it linked off another thread. Vote to make this sticky?

dan if you look in the MULTIMEDIA section of the forum, youll notice that theres a sticky called"HEY LOOK LOWERING SPRINGS" more info in there and lots of pics too

what what I really thought this was a sticky.... had to look up the thread today.... odd.

not so true.
his intent was really to show what springs look like on what shocks. but other then that, no real info. This thread has prices, links, drop info, spring rate info... etc.

although his thread is a good one. (I even gave him pictures of my car for it.... in fact I even have a link to his thread on the first post in this thread), I do argue that his thread does not have more information then this on.... just different. :wavey:

:-)

Thanks for this info, I was able to update my spring database with a bunch of new ones and to fill in some info that I didn't have.

were you guy ever able to test out another set of MS springs? (I know that discussion is way old)

Why isnt this thread a sticky yet? I always have trouble searching this when its deep under the infinite search results.

Thanks, Everyone.
Data was great, link to raceinspired was great. H-Tech for $170.

Vote here for sticky too if not already.

What about shocks fittings
 

This is a pretty awesome list & is very helpful in giving some direction. So what about the shocks pairing with springs?

For starters, please forgive my ignorance. I'm trying to gather info independently but am a bit stumped. I've spent a lot of time browsing & searching this site & am having a hard time making sense of everything. I recently discovered that the shocks apparently help in supporting the vehicle & have a big impact on the ride hieght & should be matched to the spring height. (see my thread here if interested: https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-wheels-tires-brakes-suspension-55/does-anyone-elses-stock-rx8-bottom-out-rear-mildest-speed-bumbs-211486/)

I recently purchased these springs because I wanted the extra firmness & the drop: Tein S-Tech: 207/145 - Drop = 1.4"/0.7"

Then I purchased Bilstein HD's because they seem to have a good name & they were cheap. Just after making the online purchase, I stumbled upon a thread explaining that the HD's are only for stock height springs. Soo... what shocks should I be looking at for the drop of these Tein's? Is there a list or a general rule of thumb I should go by?

:confused:

Great thread and great advice throughout! thank you for everyone that helped compile this list, it really helped me make my decision....now all i need is an Rx-8 :) soon.....very soon. :)

hey sorry if this is off subject im new but im lookn to lower my 8 but i was wondering if i get the tein s techs, if it will rub with stock shocks and i really dont want that, so if anyone can let me know thanks and pics if yall got em thanks alot guys

There are dozens of pics of cars on s-techs here.... search. Also what are you worried about rubbing? The "shocks" will not rub with any spring I have ever herd of so no worries.

ok cool i appreciate it but also it wont rub the fenders right

It depends on your wheel and tire set up however chances are high you will be fine. Look up the "will it fit" thread for better info. We try and keep this thread focused on springs.
