Hello
it is time to change the suspension to my series 1 2004 rx8.
I like the oem suspension feeling in bad road or even sometimes out of road ,sort routes.
I use my 8 for touring with speeds about 160-210 km/h with sport driving character.
Also in city I drive it about 70% fast and sport.
I am between blistein B8 with eibach or BC.
What you suggest me ?
I dont want,if that is possible, strong hits and feelings to chassis.

Good shocks >>>> cheap coilovers on any day. I'd go with the B8 easily given the usecase. I'm guessing you're not looking at the top of the BC lineup which is 10x the price of B8s (and even then, they're geared for track, not cruising). Nor do you need the adjustability.

No I am speaking for bc basic line about 1300 euro new.
Is almost the same cost with B8 +Eibach

So basically the B12 kit? By all accounts it's *very* good in its price point.

In my country there no B12 kit so we do setup with B8 and eibach

I have the Bilstein B8's mated to some Tein S-Tech lowering springs. I like the combo, they ride nice.

Bilstein, no question.

BC dampers only seem good compared to other low-cost options. They suck compared to dampers from a real company like Bilstein, Koni, etc., or a fresh set of OE dampers.

Why the Eibachs? Why not keep the stock springs?

The main problem to my suspension is the rear springs is very weak and with one person in rear seats the spring can handle the weight
I go with blistein B8

Good choice.

Have you considered trying to get a new set of stock springs? Yours are 19 years old at this point so they might be sagging.

Either way, replacing dampers alone might help.
