If your auto has the sport suspension package, then they're the same. If not, then they're different.

the Sport Suspension springs are stiffer than the Standard Suspension springs

the shocks and swaybars are different too

Pretty much.. Except the extra features; bigger wheels, brakes I think, and whatnot.. No HP gain or anything like that..

I just bought my first RX-8, a 2005 Shinka. I think it may have aftermarket springs due to the low height, but I'm not sure... Cananybody tell me what color the stock springs are?

Interesting... mine are yellow. Wouldn't suppose you'd know how I can go about figuring out what's on my car?

BTW, your 8 looks great! Thanks for the quick response.

RE Amemiya springs are yellow. If they are those, wanna trade for stock ones? I'll give you like three sets of stock springs


If they are gold, they are Tein H Techs.

Going to have to take a better look.... My upgraded starter should be in today, I'll take a tire off while I got it in the air. This is all I can really see with the tire on...

I think they are real. Looks like stock shocks as well.

which springs play best with stock shocks?

Keep in mind that I am mainly after better racetrack handling and I already have racing beat sways on the car.
