For sale is a custom coilover suspension setup based off bilstein B6 dampers. The setup performs well at autocross and track, and even rides respectably on the street as well. This setup is different from just about any other coilovers in that it retains 100% of the stock (OEM) travel, but also allows for a wide range of ride height adjustment via threaded body conversion. I will include the parts list and a few videos of this suspension on my car. you can go low for cheaper, but you won't retain the gigantic bump and droop travel that the stock RX-8 is well known for. I can't think of any common aftermarket kit that allows this amount of lowering with full droop, which helps the tires remain in contact with road under dynamic situations.

Here is a parts list and what it would cost to re-create (not that you would from scratch!):
- Bilstein B6 dampers w/ trimmed MCU bumpstops: $616 @ TireRack
- Allstar aluminum coilover sleeves and perches: $150 @ Summit Racing
- Ohlins 8k, 8", 2.5" diameter front springs: $170 @ Ohlins
- Ohlins 5k, 8", 70-100mm taper diameter rear springs: $190 @ 3dmmotorsport
- Ohlins front spherical top hats: $488
- HKS front tender springs & spacers: $54 @ Armageddon Turbo & Performance
- Eibach rear tender springs & spacers: $185 @ Armageddon Turbo & Performance
- Custom delrin rear spring perch adapters: $57 @ Ebay Motors
- JOE-33500 Adjuster wrench (for ride height): $40 @ Summit Racing
- Plus OEM rear top hats...
TOTAL: $1,950
