Springs? The best way to your lowing RX-8 is to remove the springs completely. 9/10 people on the forum are cruising in their 8's without springs. Just make sure to preload when you remove the springs from the shocks.

the ride is gonna feel different, due to different spring rates....

preload is bringing everthing to the spot where the need to be like bushing and sht then tightening everything up so it cause no stress and your spring sit where they need to sit
