autoEXE springs installed

[Bigg Tim]

So I got them Wednesday and put them on today. I have a little over an inch drop right now and it looks pretty good. I rub like crazy with the 235's on it, so it's time to roll the fenders. I took some pics of the autoEXE's next to the stockers, I'll post them up later tonight.

The ride doesn't really feel any different then before, which is nice. Overall I like them so far and will like them better when I quit cutting into my tire.

Wiggum---how are yours not rubbing if my setup matches yours? I have the 235's on RX-8 wheels.

What size are the RX-8 rims? Also did you get the Low Down Autoexe or the regular springs.

The rims are 18x8 with a 50mm offset and yes they are the low down springs. They have settle nicely and I have about a one to one and a half inches of whel well now. With the fenders rolled, I don't rub anymore.

What do you all think about the stock wheels with a 235 tire?? I figure I will have to roll the fenders but do you think it will work??

Stockers should work. The only reason I had to roll them was because of the 8" wide rims.

Dunno if they are progressive or linear, Wiggum would know. As for the ride, I can hardly tell any difference. It still takes the bumps real nice, just a little more feel then stock, but for the most part, I cannot even tell it is lowered.

AutoEXE are linear.

OEM spring rates are 280 front and 185 rears.
AutoExe springs rate are 370 linear and 225 linear.

That is a front increase of 32%... a rear increase of 22%...
AutoEXE is lowered 30mm. Approx 1 1/4".
