Maybe Tein...not sure...What springs?
What are the best springs for the 8? I was considering the tein h or s tech at first but i want performance and i want the look. What gives the lowest drop and performs the best? Can i get a significant drop and can handling coexist with a nice drop? And if anybody has the teins could you tell me about them?
Thanx

Do a search for the "Springs springs springs" thread. It's been discussed to death.
If you want performance, look into the Tein-S. They're very popular.
Search will set you free!

Eibachs! FTW!!
Or spend a little extra and get yourself a set of coilovers so you don;t have to put new struts in when you kill them with your springs..
or spring/strut combo all at once.

No struts on our cars.
(Spring) Tein H or S + (Damper) Koni or Tokico D Spec combo pairs up nicely.
In fact, practically any spring with Koni or D Spec pairs up nicely and will improve performance. Spring selection will come down to how much you want to lower the car.

I run an H-Tech/ Koni combo for my street car which is tracked about every 6 weeks on a road course. The performance is very nice, while the ground clearance and the comfort ride is very nice (for getting around town). I think it's the best of both worlds.

^ I have a set of S Tech sitting in my garage, and the minimal performance gain they would offer (in return for the inability to make it up my driveway's clearance) does not interest me.

throw a set of koni yellows in there with some S Techs or MS springs and I think you'll be pretty happy. (plus that's cheaper then coilovers)
look in the DPE subforum for a write up on the H Techs.

well if you are interested in selling them in the spring, hit me up!! i was either going to go with koni's or the tokiyo, but i dont know how much of a difference there is between the two. and i believe the S-techs work with stock shocks correct?

yes, they will but the stock shock will wear out much faster (due to the stiffer spring being put on it)

If you want performance and can't go with coilovers I would say go with the mazdaspeed springs and koni yellows. The s.techs really arent stiff enough in my opinion. I went from the mazdaspeed setup to the koni/stech setup and eventhough i really love the drop with the stechs, the MS springs are so much better. I would definately go coilover for my next setup though. Hope that helped.
