I am looking into getting more into autoX and had some suspension questions.

I was looking at several coilover and shock and strut combos and wanted to get some feedback. I am worried about some sets that lower my 8; specifically on some harder turns and grinding the tires on the wheel wells. Has anyone ever had any problems with any coilover or shock and strut combos? I guess I could expand it to street driving too, but specifically looking at autoX suspension experience.

Anyways, some of the parts I have been looking at are the Tein Flex coilovers or MS coilovers as far as sets go. If I go the strut and shock combo I was wondering about the Koni yellows with either MS springs, Eibach prokit or Tein s tech.

I am really worried about the s-techs because of the 1.4"+ drop in the front and taking a hard turn with braking would cause the nose to dive plus turing in causing the wheels to rub.

Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Read the class rules of your local AutoX club to see where your planned modifications will place you. You may be surprised as to how limiting they are for certain classes (where the RX8 is competitive).

 

My aim is for STU then, depending on how it goes to BSP. BSP wouldnt be for a year or two.
