awesome, sounds good. I'm waiting on my flywheel to come in, as soon as it does CRH is gonna come down and install that and the coilovers with me (for a small fee of course). Still better than taking my car to a shop and I'll get to see how to do everything for the next time. What settings did you settle with TruthRX8?

 

wat happened to the thread i was enjoying reading... i'm considering these coilovers and need the information.

 

yes, I don't know squat about the subject and have done my best to hide this fact, afterall why else would I be foolish enough to install a Koni 2812 racing coilover setup that will cost you over $4500 to replicate ....

 

While I personally don't doubt your experience, Dollar amounts do not implicitly show knowledge.
A fool and his money are soon parted..
Dollars don't amount to sense..

 

and what do my doors have to do with suspension??

I didn't start my Koni's at full stiff because I knew I didn't want them there. I adjusted them prior to putting them in and have only had to make small adjustments to the front so far.

 

True, but paying less does not exclude foolishness either. A fancy name, glitzy anodizing, and BS marketing don't make a quality product either. It comes down to understanding the subject at hand. In this particular case a $550 set of Koni double tube shocks with OE-type aftermarket springs are more effective than almost all the glitzed up JDM wannabe crap monotube coilovers. All the serious racing monotube shocks Penske, Moton, Koni, etc. cost a lot because precise control, repeatability, uniformity, consistency, etc. carries a high design & build price. The shock dyno doesn't lie and the proof is out there if you care to look for it.

 

teamrx8: so what setup would you recommend for weekday commuter/weekend track rx8?
i was thinking of going with megans because I can get them very cheap from an insider.... only little $ more than a set of koni double tube shocks with OR-style springs.... not bad...right?
