Wonder if anyone ever installed these on an RX8? Not sure if the Dreadnought's were ever offered for the RX8

I don't see a listing for the RX8, just RX7 and Protege.

No listing for the 8 as far as I can see. But they use swift springs, provide shock dyno graphs, and can be revalved so that is good.

The 500 series or comfort sport is all I see that is available for the RX8. One of our vendors carries FA products. They are made in Taiwan. For low end coilovers that cost 1K, I guess they are ok. The 50mm piston, I have read gives a better ride, but performance wise, handling won't be as crisp as some of the more higher quality options that cost more, but if you just want to lower your car with seperate height adjustability on 1K, they are another option to Tein Basic, Megan, BC etc. The biggest benefit I see is their support according to their website

It's Import Image, they're one of our vendors. You can select custom spring rates as well.
