Soim looking for the lowest dropping spring setup that I can use with stock shocks. I was looking in a few threads and the biggest drop I have seen is 1.4 which is barely anything. And the thread with all the pictures of droppedrx8 doesn't specify rim size or tire size. I have the rx8 on 17 inch rims and 215 tires and it looks like a 4x4. Any suggestions?

 

I think springs are the least of your worries when you're on 17" wheels and 215 tires...

 

I planned to put 17 on 215 on the rx8 will I encounter problems with this setup?

 

The lowest aftermarket springs that i know that will drop the rx8 the most is the Sprint springs. They drop 2 inch all around.

 

dropping the 8 next week with D2 racing springs any one have them an opinions on them 1.8F an 1.8R is that drop safe????

 

D2 sounds like cheap Ebay crap. But they should work for a while until your shocks blow out. If the advertised drop is as low as they say then it will be low.

 

You need to use the search tool...

 

Ive searched an did my homework just going to the actual source now on opinions an with anyone who actually has them

 

lol they do seem cheap bro just like the sound of that drop though but i usually prefer Eibach

 

WTF? Why would you do that?

 

Because I have brand new tires on 17 inch rims that came from another car that I look great on the rx8 when I test fitted them and I was looking forward to using them.

Love the video, that' s the way I felt many times when certain customers came in.

 

the rx8 is my 2nd car. i am in the process of selling my first one and the rims i purchased are pretty pricy and i was just looking forward to putting them on the 8. Besides the fact the tires are low profile i dont see why they wouldnt work?

besides that the cheapest i found "sprint springs" were on directuning SPRINT SPRINGS: RX8 03-ON - 7800 - DIRECT TUNING for 228$ cant find them on ebay or any other website.

 

"Oh these wheels bolt on. Must fit. Awww yeaaa"













No. Not only are the the tires 215 wide, which is 10mm narrower than factory 8's tires. You didn't even mention the aspect ratio. Do you even know what "low profile tires" are? Or what those numbers on the sidewall of the tires mean? Oh, one size fits all? No. With that said.... No. Just, no. Stop it.
