RX8 springs
 
I was wondering if a set of mazdaspeed springs that come on the rx-8 would fit on my FC? Do you think they would raise it or lower it?

They are basically free at the moment, so I might as well ask.

spring rates are all different...its like apples and oranges..dont think it will work..best bet if there almost free is buy them and resell them on ebay...take that money and buy good springs ment for the fc(RB-sport)(gf210-aggressive)

I wonder if dump truck springs would fit on your Rx7?

Why would you think springs from a completely different car would fit onto yours? You don't think Mazda redesigns stuff for models nearly 20 years apart?

Thanks t24todd, i kinda figured that was the case.

By the way, they looked very similar so fuck off assholes..

Why not measure them and see if they are similar?

i think it would raise the car anyways, they are designed to hold up a much heavier car.

I wont tell anybody that the wheel base, height, weight and other chassis dimensions aren't the same. But since you're a world reknown custom fabricator Tweak, why don't tell us WHEN you're going to half-ass something that stays running for more than a few days? :icon_tdow

+1, since they look similar. But track it first, don't just drive around on the streets. Put the springs under some real stress and see how they affect the car.:uhh:
