MS Eibach Springs

I bought a full Pro-Kit Eibach spring kit for my RX8 in the hopes that it could help with the handling applications. I did not however realize that it did not bring the car as low as I wanted to go in the front .. What would you think is the easiest way to get the slammed look but still have the amazing handling? Should I cut some off the front springs a little or should I look into replacing the kit with one that goes lower?

I did H-Tech, took care of front wheel gap, car got faster on track, still rides nice. I have heard of issues with the S-Tech (lower) settling, both in the group and the subi group.

Car settled a bit after a track day.

Any lower, I would be hitting a lot of stuff.

give the car time to settle as well. It will slowly adjust a little bit.

If you cut springs you deserve whatever comes of your car for being retarded. Id rather let them do it and laugh at them :P
