Complete difference, car feels alot more solid now in corners. Normal Highway/interstate driving you won't be able to tell a difference however I tend to take more twisty backroads to and from work and can definatly tell a difference there. I haven't pushed it to far since its public roads but I'd eventually like to work into getting some track time somewhere and hopefully can really push it to see how well it does. At least then its in a somewhat controlled environment. As I said the car seems a lot more solid in the corners doesn't seem to roll you near as much as prior to installing them. Even my wife noticed a difference in the "feel" when cornering as a passenger.

Jonathan, I'm thinking about organizing a track day at the TGPR. It would be a weekday but it would only be about 125-135 a person.... and get you about 2hours or more of track time Are you interested??

Definatly depending on when. Will there be any "ride along instructors" available also? weekdays are actually easier for me to get away and do something like that so thats not an issue.

Weekends, the cost almost doubles..

Couple of rotary guys are Veterans of TPGR and I'm sure they will ride along with you to give you some pointers. I know Chris goes out there quite often and at Speed for Sale event, he won by having the fastest lap time!

Definitely a wonderful writeup. If I ever get my FB done, I may consider taking modifications to the Rx8, and this would definitely be one of those mods I'd be considering.

Default Auto exe kit

I've got the Auto Exe body brace kit as well, does make a big difference, wish I had bought there strut braces as well, but I had already got a set of front and rear struts braces a month or so earlyer.
If you track your rx8, I recommend these braces.
I also use Auto EXE sway bars as well (with mixed results, but have since addjusted the front sway bar, and replaced the Mazda sway bar links).
Got the lot from Cork Sport, Recommend the guys at Cork Sport, I spent $$ $$$ with them, and had No problems at all
