No problems with rubbing at all. The drop is 1.4" on front and .8" in rear. It is the perfect drop i think.

I have the tien s techs also. It is a great looking drop giving the car a more aggressive stance over stock. I highly recommend these springs.

the front is a hair lower as these springs give the car a teeny bit of a rake.

What are your offsets on the wheels? I'm planning on the same drop and have the same setup as you but want to make sure my tires don't rub on the fenderwell since my offsets are 35mm they come exactly even in the back. Thanks in advance...

Traction Control

I was wondering if you had seen any changes in the handling of your RX-8 since you put on the springs. I thought I saw a post on one of the other threads that commented that the Stability/Traction Control tended to kick in earlier after a member got coil-overs. Have you seen that? I do like the rake of your car. Very nice.

It is a noticalbe difference in handling. The only time I have the traction control on is when it it wet. I always turn it off. Springs are definitely worth it for the money. I bought mine Teins off ebay for 146 shipped. I will be autocrossing it aug 28th. So I will get a better feel for the springs.

FOr HuFF I beleive my offsets are 45

I put the MS Springs/Shocks on mine and noticed a signficant difference in the ride. Steering is even more precise now than it was before.

Just note... if you get springs, make sure to get shocks as well.
