**** it, you're a waste of my time.
That just made my head hurt.
You're just spewing diarrhea out of your mouth right now.
You go on my ignore list.
Oh BTW, I set up ALL my cars for suspension first, power next.
In fact, my FC has a stock turbo on it.
Duh
Wrong again.

u ceritainly seem creditable concerning posts of yours ive read, its not a dick mesureing contest dude.
im doing the same as you, trying to help a newer member of the fourm create a better(correctly) functioning 7, not spitting poopy out my anus, or starting internet beef dawg

Putting stiffer shocks on the car won't make it crash and burn. Just because some dumbasses crashed while street racing doesn't mean that it was the fault of the suspension. It probably would have failed no matter what. The fact is the factories sell kits like that for their new cars. You can go out and get stiffer shocks and lowering springs for an RX-8 or many others. If it was a problem they wouldn't sell them.
Plenty of people run setups like AGX's and lowering springs with no problems. I HIGHLY doubt anyone would ever have a problem with that unless it was going to fail anyway due to rust and age. That should be replaced no matter if you've got stock or other suspension.
On my car aside from the exhaust, intake and a CDI, it's got stock power (NA). I've got coilovers, sways, bushings, strut brace, a custom lower arm bar in front, rear camber adjustable subframe link, individual rear camber adjusters, and a roll bar (race seats and harnesses are coming next year). I upgraded to the 4 pot front and vented rear brakes with SS lines and a brake master cylinder brace and I run Porterfield R4 pads at the track. I've got 225/45/17 Bridgestone RE-070's (STi tires) on 17x8's for the street, and at the track I use 225/50/15 Hankook Z211 race tires on 15x8 wheels. So whether it be on the street or at the track I've got way more handling, grip and brakes than I do power.
You = fail.
I'm done, argue all you want to empty space.

why do i fail?
i agree with your setup in its entiretry, you went the right way, if you plan on auto x, i would get on top of the harness ordeal though. paying attention to relitivily over looked parts like bushings s what im saying, you however dident over look that,
no offence, but you are comeing off like you have nothing better to do that start problems via fourm, its unnessicary.
his coils where new, and he wasnt your avarage dumbass kid, he was a pretty damn good driver, stupid for not wareing his belt though.
the margin of error on cleaper parts, is higher than those of quality built products, meaning the fail rate is more likely on an agx vs a olihs coil
and just cuz they make lowering springs for the 8, dosent mean their are not draw backs, lowering springs on stock struts it real bad for your car any way you think about it.
and btw, they also make those vornado metal fan blade things for the rx8 that claim that the crate a vortex type suction that makes forces the air into the uim, and eletric motor s/c kits that go in after he airfilter, truth be told, they actually obstrict air flow by 10-25 percent, and decreace the hp, and tq out put as well as increace engine temp.
like i said to ted, chill bibbs man
i myself am begining to become contentious, so just chill the **** out

i plan on doing some drifting, maybe race a few civics... ****** wisconsin ricers. but yes relating to your guys argument or w/e u wanna call it. im doing suspension FIRST.
also i had a question that was never answered, i have 18" rims. does anyone know what kind of drop u get with the rsr lowering springs? bc if i drop my car 1 1/2 " the tires will be rubbing
also it was not me who put 18's on it.. idk what optimal rim size is but im assuming 18 is too big if i cant even drop my car.
ANYONE? thx for all help so far much appreciated, and know that you ARE helping.

they hit about 110, he bit a small curb, blew the front strut mount that stoped the car abruptly, the on account of no seat belt he flew outta his sun roof, went in the path of the srt4, that guy in the srt4 alone with his 3 passengers, ran his body over, locked up the wheels went through a building and everybody died except the guy driveing the srt4, hes now facing 4 counts of manslaughter and hes only 19, an one of the passengers was his girlfriend.
Mistake 1: hitting a ******* curb at that speed because he did not know how to drive properly and lost control.
Mistake 2: not wearing a seatbelt (how dumb can you be?) How many times do they tell you that in driver's ed class? I bet the 3 people that died in the Dodge were also not wearing theirs.
mistake 3: Having the windows and sunroof down while doing something dangerous. It's so common to hear of people flying out a window, a sunroof, etc in a normal highway accident, much less a race. Besides, you get major drag, and that makes you go slower (if you dont care about the rest.)
Mistake 4: drumroll please......... STREET RACING!
Mistake 5: The SRT driver racing with passengers in his car: if you're gonna be an idiot, do it by yourself! Don't drag people down with you.
Mistake 6: The guys who got into the SRT4 when they knew that they are putting themselves at risk.
Because of all this, not one person who died in the accident has the right to blame anyone but their selves for being stupid. althrough, I do I send my condolances to the familes of the victims, I know it must be hard to loose a child, a freind, or a lover.
EDIT: Mistake 7: Driving an SRT 4...
(Ok, I kid, I kid!)

^ no doubt stupidity was a factor in all of this, (seat belt, passengers, ect)
the point i was tryin 2 make was that if u wanna go faster, you should scale every aspect p to that desired speed, much like they do at the factory for these purposes.
no part about this was funny, and its not ment for you to laugh at, the guy in the acura was a friend, and ive raced with the guy in the srt4 a few times.
yo can be just a dude at the track, or tommi mackinin himself, accidents happen, what he hit wasent factor enough to cause what happened, part failure was a big factor, wheel hubs dont come of that easy, expecially if its the other side that dident even hit anything.
if im wrong, stupid, retarded, in spreding caution in diy setps, than whatever, **** what you think, i wont be cryin if something similar happen 2 you
as for the op, good choice on going with suspension firts, just know theres mor than lowering springs and struts.
o and 18s will fit with rsr springs, depending on sidewall width, if yo live in a place that snows(which yo do) sell/trade for some 17s, or invest in a winter set
if yor potholes are as bad as michigans, you will go through those 18's everytime you turn the key, expically if there forged, yo might pull it off with cast 18s in wisconsion

my car still has original shocks from 86 and when i drive down the road i kinda wobble
becuase the front left and back right are more shot than the other two.
ive been looking at these http://www.cardomain.com/item/KYB741025?vq_id=none + thinking tein type S.

Even tighter budget could be quite happy with Eibach and Tokico Blues. These qualify as good cheap shocks. The Eibachs springs are out of production, so if you cannot pickup a set used, then you should look into Racing Beat springs.
http://www.mazdatrix.com/h4586-92.htm
Any spring that lowers more than an inch will probably require some method of camber adjustment.
If your car is bouncing around on the road and you are on a tight budget, go with the Blues and spend a little of the money saved on a new bushing kit. Those old oem bushings are pretty shot by now.
Good luck with you car and I hope you have better luck on clean straightforward threads in the future.

You have been of no help whatsoever to the original poster. You did not answer his question, you haven't given him any advice or help. I'll bet you don't even remember the original question without looking at the top of the thread. All you have done is run your mouth and show your *** while completely trashing his thread. You have also trashed just about everyone else on the thread. You have argued incoherently with some of the most knowledgeable members on the forum. You have no manners, net or otherwise and little to no apparent knowledge. You write like you are drunk (which you proudly admit), illiterate or maybe both at once. And these are your more endearing traits.

Paired with a Ground Control Coilover sleeve and Springs, I have a perfectly matched coilover system with Camber and Caster adjustment. If I use the Bilsteins, I'll even have remote reservoirs. I don't think any of the Japanese coilovers can even do that, until you get into the $3K coilovers. And all that, because I started with $400 shocks.
Upgradeable shocks are the way to go in my book.

OMG i cant believe someone is tell a forum member to go and get shock out of a yard sale. Reusing used shocks could be worse than what he has now.
OP, if you cannot afford a good KYB and GC setup, try out the monroe sensatracs( i know i know they suck), but if your in really bad need of them they can do the job of a daily dampner.
I full coil over system is far to stiff for the street, you will feel every bump, and crack in the road. And some of these fancy dancy system systems that this guy is talking about can actually hurt your performance if not tuned correctly to your car. Try the AGX and GC combo, it is probably the most popular setup for a reason.
