Hey everyone. Currently I have mazdaspeed shocks and springs and I love em. but I want to lower my 8 even more. The catch here is this. Next summer I ll be installing RPF1's with 275/35 all around tires. I m very interested in megan racing springs (only $140). Now will that even work? Will I still be able to fit those 275/35 tires with mazdaspeed shock and megan racing springs? or should I just save the $$ for coilovers? I m a noob in suspension so I need your help.

 

Megans are junk, only spring that give u a good drop is SPRINT, if you want to be lower than that, you need coilovers.

 

I dont need to be ultra low, but I d like a nice drop. I really dont need to have the most extreme setup right now. I can't find sprints on fluidmotorsports, any other suggestions considering the springs.

thx in advance

 

Most people are happy with Tein S Tech's. 1.4" Front and .7" Rear drop. Paired with some Koni Yellows or Tokico D Specs they are very nice .

 

I love my Eibachs for a modest but noticeable drop. 1.2 front and .8 rear... I got mine on a great deal but they're pretty pricey new at ~300.

 

Go with the Sprint springs they give you the most drop without getting coilovers, 2in front and rear, that's what I have.

 

I wouldn't run coil-over unless your a tracking the car. You wouldn't feel the full potential coil-overs would bring by daily driving. Its a lot of cash to spend without really seeing the real benefit. Most people are running springs and/or struts and/or shocks. I myself am running Tein S-Techs with Bilstien shocks and love it. If i were you I would look at the wheel, suspension, brake area of the board. there you will find a sticky "LOOK Lowering springs" there are a bunch of pixs of 8 running different types of suspension setups. There I think you will get a better idea of what your looking for. Good Luck

 

The Tanabe Sustec S-OC are running for $675 shipped on special...The Koni's alone run for $695.

But not to say that is the best option out there but they are options none the less.
