Best Springs for the RX-8?
I plan on Lowering my car ride height with the new wheels im getting (pics)...Any suggestions how much to drop and which springs are the best ride? (no price concerns)---(Japan Light Alloy Wheel aka JWL)I know many choose Rays/Volks as they have a big rep...i respect but i dont dig many of their styles....yeah they are lightweigth and JWL/JWL+R certified but so are these ENKEI!! JWL certified! I plan on getting these FD-05's (Formula Drift Limited Edition) in 18 or 19"...my second choice would be the second enkei because of all black wheel with big lip...What do you guys think? Im at a 50/50

no such thing as best.
those looks like my Mazdaspeed Version II wheels. made by Enkei too.
for springs ... for starters. maybe go with Racing beat ?
but I mean if u're changing ur springs, might as well change the shocks too.

again there is no "better springs" for the rx8...it all comes down to how aggressive you want your drop to be. and what size your new rims are...and if youre concerned on scratcin your body kit...one you can determine if your body kit will be to low with "certain springs" is to see if its lower than the stock bumper with appearance kit ( like mine)...if it is then your gonna wanna go with something like swifts or RB...if it the same and you wanna go lower, you might wanna go with S-techs, eibach or RSRs...
