Quick question.
Is there a difference between the stock springs off of a AT Sport and a Manual GT rx-8?

 

Yes but I dont know what it is. I think the MT are lower than the AT. Ahh hell I cant remember.

 

hmmm, I can't seem to find an answer to my question anywhere...sigh

Yeah, I dont know either. Anyone else have any idea?

 

yes, there is a difference in spring rate between the "base" model spring and "grand touring" spring...or GT. The struts are the same, the difference is that the touring spring is softer, and therefor, you get a lower stance and softer ride. The Base model spring is stiffer and therefor a higher stance with slightly "stiffer ride".

If you call a Mazda dealer, they can tell you the part numbers of each, but they don't have any info/specs on spring rates for either spring. If you go to the lot and look at a Base model, and a GT side by side...you'll definately notice the height difference between the two.

 

My Shinka has a VERY hard ride compaired to what people have said about running over speed bumps at 30mph. I cant, more like 5mph.
