Looking for stock rx8 springs to purchase
Hey guys,
i got an '05 RX8 and lowered it when i got my rims and tires a while back. but after riding with the suspension kit on i don't like how im always rubbing on my back tires. idk why but my back ride height is much lower then my front and when i have anything in the back that weights more then like 40 lbs i rub.
so until i get a coil over kit to be able to adjust the ride height i want to go back to the stock suspension. only problem is that i don't have my stock suspension anymore
wanted to see if anybody on here would know of anyplace where i could buy a set of springs with out having to pay an arm and a leg or if anybody on here had there old set lying around and wouldn't mind selling them.
Thanks Guys!

to ZACH LEGAND i have an eibach spring set, but i want to hold on to them and then put them back on once i get a coilover kit. for some reason like i said before my rear hieght is almost an inch lower then my front so i hat the way it looks and rubs.
and to DEZAU thanks for the complement
i think it came out really good also. ill have more pictures up as i start getting new thing added on. so next few months ill start adding stuff.

1. Jack up the front, enough to easily access the front upper A-arm bolts.
2. Break loose the two 14mm bolts and keep them loose but still attached.
3. Put the car down on the ground. You are now looking at your new ride height. Maybe move the car forward and backwards a bit to make sure things are settled.
4. Rotate wheel all the way to the left, this exposes 2 of those bolts for pretty easy access. Tighten them well (60-70 ft/lbs of torque).
5. Rotate wheel the other way and tighten the other two.

Mine will still be here if you need them.
I'm like ALtspace..............I'd like to know what your entire setup is because it doesn't look all that extreme.
