Ohlins...nice. You're right, they are rare on cars. Actually, I've never heard of anyone with them on a car cause those come stock on high end Ducati's and Agusta MV's, etc...

Oh **** you got Ohlins!!! I didn't even know you could get those for the RX8!! They are usually only reserved for purpose-built race machines and higher-end street bikes. Holy crap- nice purchase! Now lend me some money kthxbye

I did have these coilovers on my Rx8 (paid too much didn't purchase through lazi) and they are absolutely worth every penny. I had racing beat springs and koni yellows and the ride was not as comfortable as these at about half strength (adjustment wise). For the short time I had them on, they performed flawlessly!

If you have the means I highly recommend them...
