Decision Time On My Springs!

DemonOfTheFall · Postby **DemonOfTheFall** » Sat Jan 12, 2008 9:14

I love my springs but I do wish I would have held off on the install until I had the shocks. The rear takes almost no time at all but the front was a PAIN IN THE ASS and you have to completely dissasemble the strut and reassemble with the new spring. I am reaalllyy not looking forward to doing that again with the new shocks haha

That's definitely why I'm doing both at the same time!

Spring Install party at Toms when Lee and I get our Springs too! Lol

Hey Tim, whats the drop on the Spring/Shock combo you're getting?

Huzer21 · Postby **Huzer21** » Sat Jan 12, 2008 9:14

Overall, the drop is only roughly an inch. The RX-8 sits low to start with, so this will close up the gaps nicely between fender/tire. I'm excited to see what the difference in ride/handling will be.

that sounds like it will look really toit, I wonder how the ride will be too....this is probably the only
thing really holding me back.

From what I've heard with the reviews I've read, the MS combo is pretty forgiving on the street. A little firmer, but the 8 is a much firmer ride than the 6 to start with. Quite a few peeps planning on doing this in the spring, that's pretty cool.

I'm excited!

Lucky you. That's on my list of things to buy

How much was everything?

Huzer21 · Postby **Huzer21** » Mon Jan 14, 2008 9:14

$636, no shipping charges.

A lot better than what I was expecting. Did you get them from Mazdatrix?

Huzer21 · Postby **Huzer21** » Mon Jan 14, 2008 9:14

Nope... http://www.onlinemazdaparts.com, dealership in NC. Mazdatrix would've been over $700, plus shipping (I think).

They have been good to me so far but I show the speed a lot and it hurts to say no there not Works lol.
