Most people do not have the knowledge to properly setup coilovers so they end up with what you described.
ehh I've never been in a smooth riding car with coilovers. But ill take your word for it.

I'm already on Koni's & Tanabe GF's I'm more just playing devil's advocate. The Basics are probably higher than my current setup. When I get some time probably this evening I am going to do a big search and see what the failure rate of the Megans is. For some reason I do not think it is very drastic though. I know Philip ran Megans and he liked them.

not trying to stir anything up

Jedi.. Well however much the boxes weigh... minus that as well. The wheels come with Dunlop Sport Maxx Tires.. Same tires that come on the 2009 RX8s from OEM.

Everyone: SO i spoke with a soon to become member of the socal lounge and he has an 09 R3... i didnt know they have dual canisters compared to the single muffler that the Basic trim levels have

Also. My mom was here for the weekend. I bough the ingredients to make Enchiladas, she mad them and there was leftovers. I took them outta the fridge and I am eating them right now. I was about half way done when I cut a piece and pick it up with my fork and go to put it in my mouth and... ROFLWTFBBQ!! That **** rolls off of my fork and falls on the Tile floor in my living room. Considering that my mom mopped the floor yesterday I picked up the half enchilada that fell on the floor and ate it .... Five second rule right?
