Lower my 2010 RX8 Sport
 

I am a novice when it comes to suspension.:eyetwitch


I have been reading posts and taking down information on products but I think making a post will be easier.


What I want to know:


1) How much did you lower your 8?

2) What Products did you use?

3) How long did your install take or did you pay for an install?

4) Did you change your camber and if so what angle did you use? (front and rear)

5) Did you change the size of your wheels?

6) What performance changes have you noticed?

7) Is there a new product out now that you wish you had been able to use?

8) Should I swap break lines to a more durable line when I change the suspension?

A) If so what product do you recommend?

9) What was your total cost?

10) If you could change something on your lowered 8 what what it be?




Thank you so much for your time in answering my questions.:bowdown:

1. An inch and a half, maybe 2
2. Stance GR+ w/ Swift Springs
3. Few hours
4. Yes, any change in suspension height requires camber adjustment. Specs can be seen : Normalexception.net - Mazda RX8
5. No
6. Not sure
7. Newer Stance C/O's that have rust proofing
8. If you want ... apples and oranges
A. Mazdatrix (use goodridge lines, good price)
9. 700 bucks (bought from user)
10. Nil

1. 1.4" in front a little less than 0.8" in the rear
2. Tein S-Tech springs
3. about 8 hours being my first suspension install
4. Got an alignment done at the Mazda dealership
5. Nope.
6. None.
7. Not really but I want to get coilovers
8. Whatever you want
9. $150
10. MOAR LOW and stiffer spring rates

1) dont know the exact specs but about 1 1/2

2) Tien S-Tech

3) 2h, performed at my dealership by myself and a tech

4) -2.0 front, -1.2 rear,

5) changed to 245/40/19 all around

6) getting ALOT of premature wear on inside 3" of the tire, might bring it back to -1.0 front and -0.8 rear, but car's handling is really nervous, which is nice. these spring are generally soft so is still really comfortable (when comparing to stock R3)

7) No

8) this would be a personal choice, don't really see the point but you could get a stiffer feel in the brakes and probably feel less spongy.

A) n/a

9) 150$ for the spring, bought off a friend brand new

10) spacers? lol
