The other day, our car RX-8[Street Sports Suspension Kit]Is attached.I would like to introduce the impression.
(The full text below)


It has been 17 years since I was involved in the MAZDA race.I bought the late model of 8 model three years ago because I wanted to keep the machine "RX-2008" equipped with Rotary Engine, which was the last release in the world.

I got my motorcycle license on my 16th birthday and I've always had a motorcycle by my side.
I've been on the circuit since I was a student, and I'm still riding a motorcycle.However, the car was only a means of transportation and maintenance.

I changed my mind with the RX-8 as my partner.

"I want to ride fashionably as an adult sports car.Let's have such a relationship with this guy! 』\

I want to stick to performance and drivability without breaking the normal base.
As I worked on it little by little, my partner responded to it.

That's where I came across [Street Sports SUS.Kit KIJIMA-SPEC].
From my experience with a motorcycle, I thought that changing the suspension would be a stiff and lacy feeling.

I ran about 2,000km from the installation, but it feels like the four wheels are always sticking to the road surface.

I try to keep the posture of the car by inputting it to the steering, but even if I turn it quickly, it responds unchanged.
However, it does not feel like the suspension is sinking.The same is true for the gap.
A feeling of absorption of the damper when crossing a step when entering a convenience store in the city.
My wife, who rarely gets in a car, said when traveling, "It's comfortable to ride! I rarely said it.
Just the right amount of vehicle height down that does not hit the curb at -15mm.
The form is also sharpened, and I am squinting at the fearless style.

The sense of trust with my partner has deepened further.

In this case, next time, if you change the tires to quieter ones, the city riding will be better ...
What kind of reaction would you get on the street if you made it a high grip? ... I want to run on the circuit ...

It was a wonderful opportunity to interact with the car.

ps But who will be playing live when they race? (Laughs)
