I am sure the stock shocks will wear out a little quicker. But I plan on getting some koni's soon.

that is correct, the stock struts will wear out faster but not by a whole lot. Konis match up VERY nicely with S Techs.

Rgl: after you have your springs isntalled, you can drive my car a bit and let me know if they feel any different. (just don't move my seat around tooo much. )

rglbegl

Thanks for the offer. But that would cost me more money. After driving your car I would need a short shifter

HAHA, that won't be the only mod you buy if you drive my car.

Ya, probably the stereo too. I used to compete with my stereo when I was younger.( 132.2db was my best out of 60 watts ) I still want a boomin system in my car, it would just cost too much to do it right.

So what is the plan for SSX? Is everyone cruisin over their together, or are we meeting up with another group?

I'll be with the SoCal Cruise guys, think we're creeping up on 50 RX's already

I put over 25,000 miles a year on my car....Tein S-techs have the same spring rate as stock...so you won't feel the difference. I bought MS springs, thinking that the published rates would make my ride harsh. I didn't notice a change....come to find out, the published rates were wrong and MS springs are much like the Teins and the factory springs.

You CAN lower your car and still retain your factory ride.

Michael can't lower his car given his driveway. Gerry, well....I just don't know why Gerry hasn't lowered his yet.

Gerry, we gotta do SOME kind of mod on your car soon. You've held out far too long.
Come over to the Dark Side...

I don't think I'll be doing SS this year....just not interested I guess.

WHAT?!
You're kidding, right?

rglbegl

I thought the Tein H were the same as stock, and the Tein S were a little stiffer?

lesper4

iTrader: (3)

No he is not, what about you casey?

Jedi54

iTrader: (7)

Rgl: yup, that's what it's supposed to be like. H techs don't drop as much and S techs are slightly stiffer then H.

yay that'd be the one i hit a skunk one night notic the crack!! i hope no one makes fun of my non paint kit yet.. at ssx

lesper4

realistically i would expect it (sorry), you rarely see rx-8's with primer body kits....like you would typically see on a honda. If you screen name is hondakilla my suggestion is to get that body kit painted.

hondakilla

I mean I knew someone would say something ( wont hurt my feelings) It STILL an rx8 no less. I just havent had the time to paint it yet, Hopefully i wont be the only one there at SSX with an unpainted body kit.

speeddemon32

we will see. It would be my first year without a rotary. it might bug me to be there and see all the cool cars, and not have a rotary. :-/

rglbegl

If you guys do not drive there, I may have to meet up with the L.A. crew.


Please don't make me get up that early!!!!!
