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?

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.

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?
