the grocery list is complete, the small list of parts i have listed are ALL installed now. i was holding off of installing the TEIN type flex and EDFC but i have successfully done it.


this car handles SO much better than stock now. i thought it handled acceptable stock but it went from good to great in about 4 hours worth of install time.

i even went to west chester, PA to drive down thier awesome backroads to try it out, its so much diff from stock. the Type Flex is the perfect match for street/road course types. which is what i wanted. its not too stiff and not too soft, personally, id like a tad more stiffness, but thats just because im crazy, for all u normal people out there, ud all love it.

yes it took me about 4 hours to instal the coilovers and edfc, i dont kno if thatds a long time but it was the first time i did struts on a RWD car and its quite different than the front driver i did before. i put new struts on a mazda3 once and it was cake, the rx8 was a tad more difficult/involved bc i had to remove a few links from the rear to pull out the struts. ALIGN IT AFTERWARDS. nonetheless, its in, its awesome nuff said.



ps anyone gonna get Tein coilovers should spend the extra 400 bucks and get the EDFC its so awesome

where did you mount the edfc? pics of ride height?

i put the EDFC on the top of the steering wheel column, wicked easy. they went a little crazy with the wiring, way too long than needed. all in all, very fun
