I just got my GReddy kit today (YAY!!!).

It is heavy, and much of the weight is going forward of or right above the front wheels. So much for the sweet 50/50 weight distribution.

For those of you with a GReddy install, how has it affected handling?

 

lol, it makes the car a little nose heavy, but if you have a system in the trunck, it should all equal out.............

 

How many pounds are we talking?

 

+ you're chucking the probably very heavy stock exhaust manifold. Though if I had something heavy, I'd want it down low like the manifold.

 

It's really not going to make much of a differnce in the grand scheme of things. Plus the RX-8 isn't 50/50 in stock form, it still has a small bias.

 

^true it's more liek 52/48

 

70# all in, I think.

The intercooler is pretty heavy, and it sits way up in the nose of the car.

 

well that isn't too bad...70 lbs..for 60 hp....not a bad trade off if you ask me.

heh if it really bothers you put the battery in the back or add a sand bag...or if you are really adventurous add a lill pos. caster to your wheels...haha but i would recomend messing with the suspension if you don't know what you are doing :D
