I haven't heard of the T1R but there is a MASSIVE thread on the PSS9 coilovers here. Overall I would say the PSS9 is one of the most popular setups in the community

Yeah, definitely go with the PSS9's.

T1R does not make anything for the rx8.

ahahahah!
They're the one i'd suggest in that price range. Moton, penske, "real" ohlins and all the other racing shocks aren't the best bet in a road application and cost more than a used rx8

You have a lot to learn if you want good suspension components. If you are looking to just go lower there are many cheap options.
