i'm looking for the best suspension out there for the RX8

is tein a good choice

żif not what is?

 

Depends on what you're planning to do with the Vehicle. Are you going just drive around in the streets? Just going to show your car at car shows? Going AutoCrossing? Drifting? Drag racing?

Are you looking for only springs and struts?

Are you looking for a full race coilover?

 

mainly street racing

 

mainly street racing

 

Dont think you need to look further.

STREET RACING is not encouraged by all parts makers. Thus there ain't any street racing suspension been made.

 

then what racing do u do? what i ment was like a closed street track
i've heard of some. i wanted a suspension to help when i'm on the street and for closed track

 

^ haha nice recovery
how much money are u willing to spend?

 

LOL - this thread is great!! :D - Yeah, great recovery

 

w/e guys

i want 2 things from the suspension i chose

1st lowering

2nd great handleing lol

i just want to know what choices people have made

 

well answer my question then buddy... how much money are u willing to spend?
under a thousand or more?
you can go with a spring and shock combo like i have done, or you can go for the full coilover replacements like others have done.

all aftermarket springs or coilovers replacements is gonna lower your car... how low do you wanna get? great handling? again they will all improve your handling greatly.

try being more specific before you get crazy.
do you want them to be adjustable? how adjustable? wats your price limit? how low? and is it a daily driver? you gonna be on the track or "spirited" driving on the streets?

 

over 1,000 and best handling made

 

I'd say Hipermax II. maybe this pic will help you, if you can speak japanese its a suspension test from a mag in japan...
maybe someone here can translate it...

 

I am going to suggest the best out-there. Nothing beats them ... oK? forget about the table above. They are budget suspension for people like me

I will stop at the Bilstein adjustable coilovers if budget is not a problem for you.

Nothing beats Bilstein for the price. $4000 US that is. For both track and street

2 other choices just as good:
Tein super racing. Track only. It may be to harsh on the road and targa rallying since it will create a lot of bounce but it has TWO EDFC... one for damper and one for rebounce. 16 adj each $4000-$5000

Other is a quantum suspension from the RE Amemiya. It is $5000. Track proven on their RX-7. They have done the quickest time among the turbo rotary at Tsukuba. Very nice shock.

 

what about teins type flex

 

tein flex's are nice (woah recovering an old thread... havent got them yet?)

i always recommend teins, especially with the edfc. can't go wrong with them, but then again for straight up performance, ppl usually go with JIC's or HKS. Cant go wrong with tein.

u also get some cool stickers (and if u dont think theyre cool, ill take them :D )

 

What would be a good setup for drifting? (yet at the same time keeping the car streetable
