Springs Mods now here
So I finally had all my spring mods installed, what a difference.
First off, I added the mazdaspeed shocks and springs, along with the agency power front and rear sways (front set soft, rear to medium). What a difference it makes. The car tracks better (less rut sensitive) and just rails around corners, partially beacuse of my 245mm T1R's. So far I have noticed a huge reduction in roll, with no severe ride penalites. The car jumps a bit on BIG bumps, but is largely as comfortable as stock.
Secondly, I added the agency power underdrive pulley and RP supercat. Currently the cat is throuwing a code so I need to get that checked. But nonetheless the car is alot easier to rev in neutral, so going down gears and double-clutching is a lot easier. The supercat isn't really much noisier, and doesn't backfire much. I gather it is noisier from outside the car though.
Thumbs up on that

I didn't buy the supercat to get backfiring. Just some additional performance and a different sound character. It makes the Renesis sound a little deeper, and gives it some character that the RB cat-back didn't fully achieve.

Ah ha. So you've managed to decrease roll. That's great news. The RX-8's single flaw is the roll it has in it's stock configuration.
Only 1 true way of getting backfires and flames!
