RX-8 suspension question
Hey all, hopefully this is ok to post here. My friend has an RX-8, he's invested a ton in stereo and isn't really into performance. He's come across a problem though, because the weight of the stereo is starting to sag down the car in the rear. Most of this weight has been added in the rear.
I had him weigh the car, it's now 1490kg or 3,285lbs with a 3/4 tank of gas.
Is there any recommendations on a suspension to counteract this? He's not looking for a large drop, and values ride quality over handling. A slight handling improvement and drop would be fine.
Is there a specific shop or company that would be a great recommendation to contact for a matched spring/strut combo for this, or would coilovers really be the only way to get it just right?
Thanks in advance!
