The ride quality is the same as far as I can tell on the street. We will see next Saturday how the H techs ride hard.
A mod can move it if they want. I didn't even realize that.

Hmm well 9K, your stilling on different shocks they arent OEM if I remember correctly. And thats strange because my Tein S.Techs are sitting on my Koni Yellows and im a good half inch lower than you atleast... There should be no way the H. Techs are that close unless you guys preloaded the **** outta them, their sagging, or your S. Techs arent preloaded.
Im not saying you guys are wrong by any means, im just wondering how the H. Techs are that low. Deadphoenix has H.Techs on OEM Tokico shocks and Im lower by like an inch or 1-2 fingers, and the Koni's only lower your car an additional like .5 inch so...
Oh and also the different tire size will lower or raise your car slightly as well, by like .3 inches because the sidewall is a different length.

It's a mystery, mine are preloaded, they are actually my second set of S-Techs. We preloaded his the same exact way and they have settled since then too. Tires play into it and so can shocks, but even when his car was on stock springs it was lower than other stock RX-8's. Who knows, until someone else with H-Techs on stock shocks measures.

yeah we have done, several S tech installs, Tanabe's (coilovers and GF's), Progress Autox's, and the differences are minimal with the exception of the coilovers of course. We recently did S techs on a 40th with the factory Bilsteins and it sits real nice.

Thanks, I'll have a set of Clean Shinka wheels on soon and then I'm gonna do something interesting with these 
I love the stock wheels a lot which is why I can't seem to spend money on aftermarket wheels.
