Aftermarket Spring with stock shocks
Soim looking for the lowest dropping spring setup that I can use with stock shocks. I was looking in a few threads and the biggest drop I have seen is 1.4 which is barely anything. And the thread with all the pictures of droppedrx8 doesn't specify rim size or tire size. I have the rx8 on 17 inch rims and 215 tires and it looks like a 4x4. Any suggestions?

Because I have brand new tires on 17 inch rims that came from another car that I look great on the rx8 when I test fitted them and I was looking forward to using them.

the rx8 is my 2nd car. i am in the process of selling my first one and the rims i purchased are pretty pricy and i was just looking forward to putting them on the 8. Besides the fact the tires are low profile i dont see why they wouldnt work?
besides that the cheapest i found "sprint springs" were on directuning SPRINT SPRINGS: RX8 03-ON - 7800 - DIRECT TUNING for 228$ cant find them on ebay or any other website.

"Oh these wheels bolt on. Must fit. Awww yeaaa"
No. Not only are the the tires 215 wide, which is 10mm narrower than factory 8's tires. You didn't even mention the aspect ratio. Do you even know what "low profile tires" are? Or what those numbers on the sidewall of the tires mean? Oh, one size fits all? No. With that said.... No. Just, no. Stop it.
