Wow - I looked at doing it myself, then ended up paying my mech to do it. Are you changing the shocks also?

I did them myself - took about 6 hours. It handles so much better with them and it still isn't too harsh on the bumps.

Has anyone else done this upgrade? Any major handling improvements? I've been debating on whether the Spings and Sway bars are worth the money.

I dropped $200 for MS Springs, Shocks, and Sway (Stabilizer) Bars... for the install.

Lopez runs his own shop - and built many rotary blocks for Atkins in their heyday. Really knowledgable mechanic - but the RX8 has him mesmerized. I let him drive it after the install and he had a big grin on his face... :D

I have the full MS suspension.
Huge change in both looks and performance.
I highly recommend this suspension.
