2 questions - coilovers & RB flash

So I've got new Progress Tech sway bars coming however I'd also like to drop the height a bit and firm up the suspension. From what I've read, coilovers are what I want, though feel free to correct me if I'm wrong as I'm still getting up to speed on cars.

From what I gather, 04-08 coilovers should fit my 09 just fine much like the sway bars, however I'm not a bit split as to what to get, I know I don't want the TEIN basics but I also don't want to spend 2,000$ for coilovers (unless they're really that good and worth the 2k).

I've been looking at the TEIN Flex & Megan Coilovers. I'm a bit lost though..


My other inquiry is the RB Flash, from what I could tell it's only for 04-07 and 08 & 09 are SOL.

Halp?

RB flash support all 04-08 RX-8. but for the price, you might be better off getting the CobbAccessPort from MM.

for coilovers, get TEIN, depends on what your ultimate goal is, Basic is good for street use, not that great for track/autoX.

If you have an 09 you don't need coil overs. The new Bilstein set up is great.
