The RX8 and NC Miata reviews were pretty consistent that they improve handling while also riding better than stock. Guess we’ll see. The stock RX8 suspension is what I would describe as flinty on low speed rough surfaces, it’s not happy at 20 MPH on a brick street for instance. Mine is low miles (30k) but still 19 years old, I’m sure wear and tear factor into that too. Guys who race with these go with a much higher spring rate than stock and sometimes custom valving as well.
