right sorry, I meant the camber kit, got the alignment done on my old car. Ya heard that before, why is that btw?

I heard good things about Eibach. I also read reviews on the various spring manufacturer's quality and Eibach ranks pretty high. (Better than Tein for sure). I also got a 3 lap ride around Mosport in your car, and was impressed by the fact that it had nothing more than Eibach Pro-kits...

That's true, but your car has more to steal. And there's no re-painting needed

But if Scott is backed into a wall and starts throwing her DAUGHTERS out (take them... take her instead) then what would you do?

I guess I should direct that to Kafka

Hmm... new part number from Eibach for the RX8...

5544.880 - Pro Plus Kit.

No info searched from the internet. But however Tirerack talks about a Pro system Plus kit, which includes springs, shocks, sways as a package. But I don't know if the Pro System Plus kit is the same as the Pro-Plus kit.

Anyone know anything? I'm calling Eibach tomorrow.

The drop is the same 1.2" front, and 0.8" rear. It's just that this is now labelled as a "kit", so there has to be more than just springs.

Yes that is the drop, no it is called the pro-kit spring set

http://www.tirerack.com/suspension/s...Kit+Spring+Set

nothing else comes with that kit, just the springs. It's been called that for a long while now.

This one comes with everything you are talking about.

Yeah, since the drop is a concern to me, I think I'm gonna stick with H-Techs.

I have to be careful with scraping with H-techs. If you are driving the car in the winter i wouldnt want to go any lower. I put carbon splitters on my front bumper to keep the bumper from scraping.

No Marc...

This is a separate part number.

The Eibach pro-kit springs are 5544.140
The Pro SYSTEM Plus kit is not available for the RX-8

This is the Pro Plus Kit now listed under an item for the RX-8 with part number 5544.880.
