Shinka suspension

I have read that the rx8 goes over speed bumps/bumps fine, but I cant. I feel everything on the road.

This is because the shinka has a different suspension?

Apparently the Shinka has revalved dampers, but the spring rates are the same as the 6spd models. In other words, I doubt the fact that you have a Shinka is making any sort of difference in ride quality. In fact, I'd be interested to see comparative testing of a Shinka vs. a regular 6spd as the handling/grip is probably identical.

That's what a sports car is suppose to do.

If you don't like it sell it and get a Buick.

you'll feel the action of going over a speed bump no matter what car you have.

If you don't feel everything on the road your suspension is too soft, stock shinka and RX8 suspension is way softer than it should be in the first place.

Hay now dont be an ***. I was compairing my ride to what other 8 drivers have said.

And when I mean I feel everything i dont mean speedbumps, but all the cracks and little stuff on the road @60mph, or at any speed.
