BLITZ ZZ-R Coilover Suspension for Mazda RX8 (Series 1 & 2, 2003-2012)

Full-length adjustable RX8 adjustable coilover suspension for both generations. Tune ride height and damping for fast-road or track use.

$1,800

RX8 adjustable coilover suspension from BLITZ’s ZZ-R range replaces the factory struts with a fully tunable chassis platform. It suits Series 1 and Series 2 owners who want real control over how their car sits and handles.

Height adjustment lets you dial in the stance. Damping adjustment lets you match the setup to the road or the circuit. The Renesis rotary sits in a naturally well-balanced chassis. A quality coilover kit like the ZZ-R is the most direct way to sharpen that balance.

BLITZ ZZ-R RX8 Adjustable Coilover Suspension Features

  • Full ride-height adjustment lets you set the car lower for improved aero and centre of gravity, without sacrificing consistent wheel travel.
  • Damping is adjustable across a usable range. Run a more compliant setup for fast-road driving, then stiffen it for track days. No separate rebuild required.
  • Fitment covers both RX8 generations, making the same ZZ-R solution available for Series 1 owners from 2003-2008 and Series 2 owners from 2009-2012.
  • The ZZ-R is a dedicated BLITZ product line, backed by decades of suspension development across Japanese performance vehicles.
  • Finally, the hardware carries a red finish that reads as purposefully aftermarket under the guards, a detail that suits builds already running red accent parts.

For RX8 enthusiasts, the most noticeable change comes in the first corner. Turn-in tightens and body roll drops. The car responds to inputs the way stock suspension never quite manages.

RX8 adjustable coilover suspension also changes how the car feels at speed on a back road. Less float, more planted. Mazda RX8 coilovers of this calibre are a genuine chassis upgrade, not just a stance mod.

To build on the improved front-end rigidity this kit creates, the CUSCO Strut Brace Type OS (Front) with Brake Cylinder Stopper stiffens the front towers and complements the lower, firmer chassis. Adding the AUTOEXE Lower Arm Bar (Front) further ties the subframe together, making the whole front suspension geometry work more cohesively with the new coilovers.

If you are running harder on track, upgrading brake hardware is a sensible companion step. The AUTOEXE Brake Rotors (Sport, 1-Piece) pair naturally with a lower, stiffer chassis and keep braking performance matched to the upgrade. More detail on the ZZ-R range is available at the BLITZ official website.

How do these coilovers compare to the RX8's standard suspension?
