Preferred Springs for D-spec shocks?
 
I am picking up some RB sways with Zex brackets as well as Tok D-specs (I like the easy rear access to adjust that the Koni's don't have.

My question is, which springs a) fit nicely b) make the biggest difference and c) what are the drop rates? I have done my research and have settled on the Swift Sport Mach springs I THINK.

If anyone has any other suggestions please let me know.

Tokico also offers a spring which is paired to the D-Spec damper.

The beauty of the D-spec is its adjustability; You can match them to almost any spring and driver preference.
BTW, I'm running RB springs

Do not go with Eibach if you plan to put 19inch rim on your car. I have this setup. I love it. The only problem is that the rear will drop so low that having OEM rim with 245/40 on, I can barely fit one finger in between fender and tire.

a) fit nicely

-Any made for the RX8

b) make the biggest difference and

-For what? Track, autoX, daily driving, dragging, showing off to people in a McDonald's drive thru?

c) what are the drop rates? I have done my research and have settled on the Swift Sport Mach springs I THINK.

-Congrats! Get 'em and see how they work. If you don't like 'em get some different ones.

rim dia has nothing to do with shocks or fit.. it is offset and tire size.

already on it ha. I'm just a bit short on money now, so I think I'm going to do sways now, and shocks/springs at once in a few months...although maybe I should buy the springs now b/c of the good deal?
