I'm sure! our cars are fairly low stock, even tho the wheel wells don't show it. With the MS sides over speed bumps going at an angle I can some times here a little rub.

Al any comments on that? If the Eibach are too low once you get the MS front on, will the H-Tech hold up?

Good call Kris, was wondering what to put on the front to protect it. Will be finding out where you got them, once I get my front (if there are any left).

 

The way you wrote it seemed like you are asking why it says "kit" and it is just called that for just the springs. Yes that is the part number for both. Call them I'm sure it is the exact same setup as the Pro System Plus Kit, they just forgot the "System" part in the title .

I called Eibach...

5544.880 is nothing more than
a) Pro-kit lowering springs
B) Front and rear sway bars
MSRP: $745.20 USD

Packaged into a product code for easy ordering and discounted price. It does NOT include shocks as there are no pro-dampers available for the RX-8 from Eibach.

This is not the same as the Pro System Plus kit; which is not available for the RX-8 to begin with.

 

As per my email to you Andrew I was mistaken the kit 5544712 is just the coil overs from what I can see! And so inexpensive at $3257.00 Cdn at retail! (lol) How many do you want??

 

What is this one then 5544.880??

 

*** DAT! lol

 

That explains why the Canadian distributors dont list the kit.

 

Sorry typo. I meant to say 5544.880. Post editted.

 

You guys are NOOBs, tru Playas/Ballas go air ride. Y'all need some L33T sauce!!!

I'm going Eibach with OEM appearance front lip in spring 2009. I did some measurements on the before current ride height at the front. I also did measurements of several typical driveway entrances and height measurements on speed bumps and formed an average height encountered.

Then I did some measurements on the effects of road curvature. The road is curved sideways, so as you drive towards a driveway/mall entrance, the back comes up and the front points down. Although my measurements do not account for all possible scenarios, but taking several sample values from what's expected out there, gives me a good idea of what I would be expecting after I drop the Eibach.

Another issue that not a lot of people notice is that if you have the front mudguard, and if your car is lowered; then when you go over a speed bump, on the rebound as you go over, the speed bump may not clear the front mud guard and you'll scrap that piece as well. The front mudguard lowest point is lower than the front of your car.

 

Air Ride for me.
