So Robi decided to come to Pompano Beach for few days to do some installs, so I decided I'd be the first one to get a hold of these and drive down from Orlando.

The springs make the car look so much better, because now it doesn't have the huge gaps (the way it should've been from the factory).

So after they were installed I had a 3+ hour drive back to test them out, and they did not disappoint. The car handles so much better now. My main gripe when I got the car was how much it body roll it had when cornering. Now the car stays flat in corners, and the handling is really crisp now. There are no weird noises or anything from the springs. Onramps and offramps feel a lot better now and in u-turns you don't feel like the car is flipping over.

As far as highway driving goes... its not bad at all... you definitely feel the bumps more (which isn't always a bad thing), but the ride quality is still much better than my stock RX8 had.

Now I can really get to know how bad the tires are on this car haha...

Here are some pics (I couldn't get any good pictures of the swaybars) Yes the car is dirty, haven't had time to wash it since the trip.

 

Looks good, but why is the front a little higher? Hopefully the front will settle a little bit. How much did everything end up costing you?

 

The front has a little bit of a gap but the car itself (from what Robi told me and showed me) is perfectly level and is right where it should be.

The springs were $200 and the swaybars were $350 a set.

and shipping / freight / installation was $550.

I decided to have the person that made the parts install them and to ensure everything was done right (these were the first ones installed on a RA other than the test car) but the springs you could probably put in yourself, and get someone to do the swaybars for cheap. The swaybars alone were 4+ hours of work.

 

So all together it was $1100? As long as the car is level that's what matters.

 

yeah definitely. this car handles so much better now. I wish I could feel how this car handles now with a better wider tire and rim setup.

 

Robi will be back in Florida in about 4 weeks for anyone who wants this setup or anything else. It will take a miracle, but I'd like to get tires and rims by then so he can make 'em fit (hes got 245's on his RA)

 

i need to be lower

 

blahh you guys suckkkkkk i live in snow city...where almost 8 months of the year is snow -_-

 

still sits too high for my liking

 

same here I am going to wait for teins or something...... saw an 08 lancer gts the otehr day with 08 specific teins on it and it was low!!!! and the guy said the ride was good. all we have if flat roads in Naples FL lol

 

That's about as low as I'd like mine. Nice setup.

 

I didn't want to go too low because I'm planning on putting 235's on. People are already saying 225's rub stock height so going as low as you guys want will be nearly impossible to fit the tires I want (plus you'll have the tucked look with the tires going up into the fenders) not a look i like. Besides all that, whenever a front lip comes out thats good, I dont want to knock it off at every speed bump.

 

225 tires won't rub if you grab wheels with +42-+46 offsets. My wheels rub because I have EVO 8 fitment +35 offset. Lowering is another story. You will have to get Robispec to shed some light on the wheels he used on the RA# prototype. Some kind of 17x8.5 with 245's.

 

The stock tires are soo bad, I'm ashamed to call them summer tires. My all season are 10x better.

 

he said he had to roll the sh*t out of the fenders haha. I'm not sure what offset he used... just that they were 8.5" rims with 245's
