Linear Springs
Anyone know what other available rx8 springs are linear as opposed to progressive apart from the Racing Beat springs?

did you not want to try the RB's? I had the RB springs on my rx-7 and loved them for daily driving / light track duty. I can't imagine anything but a similarly high quality product from them...

They are quality I agree but I would want a more aggressive drop.

The only springs Progress Tech make for the RX8 are sport spec and those are still progressive.
I'm liking the sport spec ones though, may pick them up.

The AutoX version that RaceRoots was doing a group buy for:

https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-racing-25/progress-technology-springs-169893/

Could swear these were linear.

You need coilovers that use a common spring diameter
