You can put hydraulic suspension on any vehicle.

It will cost you an arm and a leg. Good luck finding something.

You will have to get a custom set-up.

I want to see the spinners too when your finished.

lol im not puttin on spinner rims lol the reason why i need the hydraulic suspension is that in a in a few months im going to the dominican republic and im going to spend 2 years over there so im also takin the car and the place where i'll be leaving has some nasty speed bumps some of my friends are already there and their cars are low and they tell me they are tired of those speed bumbs... so im gong prepared lol

If you are going to drive on bad roads, then get a vehicle made for that.

hydrolic suspension is hard to maintain and isnt worth the trouble. Just getba decent set of springs or get coil overs

Just get a skyjacker 8" lift kit and some 35" desert duelers. Come to think of it...I think you would have the first jacked up RX8 out there...

Don't put Hydraulics on your 8, just bag it with those airstruts its alot cleaner and doesn't weigh as much as a full set up of hydraulics. I had Hydraulics back when I was into Lowriders and let me tell you its not a fun thing when one of those hoses break and it shoots the fluid all over your trunk.
