Just found these today. Anyone have/had these? I'm not interested in them since I already have powertrix, but this price tag can't be ignored. $799.00
Mono-Tube, Top Mount, 32 Step Damper & Ride Height Adjustable
Spring Rate: Front 10kg(559lb/in)/ Rear 5.5kg(307lb/in)
rotary-works.com: CoilOver Suspension Kit for 03+ Mazda RX8;Spring Rate: Front 10kg/ Rear 5.5kg
- 32 Step Damper Adjustable
- Precise control damp valve, Operates smoothly on all road surfaces
- Expansion/Suppression of shock adjustment
- Height and low adjustable, Superb road holding qualities and great looks
- Single Cylinder, or Mono-Tube Design, with Larger cylinder and piston design, advances driving stability and dexterity

so what do you think? just cheap crap? or maybe a good option for those just trying to get low on the street/show?

Rotary Works is a good company I have bought from them before. Those appear to use the stock shock tops so they should fit fine. But they are likely no better than the rest of entry level crap coilovers. If you just want to go lower on the street they will be fine I would guess.

Out of these and BC Coilovers, which would you say is better? If there is a better one, and assuming they cost the same.

And I just saw these. Looks to be the same ones

IIRC BC's don't use any tops mounts. That is a big no no as far as i am concerned.

Really? I didn't know that. I know a couple BMW guys that use BC and they haven't had any complaints. BMW and Mazda are different though lol. Thanks!

Yeah you might want to verify but IIRC they don't bolt up top to the chassis. That is where most of the support is so I'm not sure how they work without that.
