Öhlins is widely regarded as one of the world’s benchmark suspension brands, and many RX-8 owners consider the Road & Track kit to be the best suspension upgrade you can buy for balancing real-world comfort with serious handling performance. Designed for the Mazda RX-8 Series 1 & 2 (2003–2012), this kit uses Öhlins’ advanced DFV technology to deliver exceptional body control, sharper turn-in and improved ride quality without the harshness often associated with track-focused coilovers.
- Features Öhlins’ renowned Dual Flow Valve (DFV) technology for outstanding ride comfort and handling precision.
- Includes separate ride height adjustment and spring preload adjustment for accurate setup control.
- Front dampers use a single adjuster for compression and rebound, with aluminium top mounts included.
- Rear dampers also use a single adjuster for compression and rebound and are designed to work with the original top mounts.
- Recommended ride height range is approximately 20–50 mm lower at the front and 25–50 mm lower at the rear than standard.
- Spring rates are 80 N/mm front and 40 N/mm rear for a highly capable road and track balance.
- Fully rebuildable construction and corrosion salt spray tested to ISO 9227 for long-term durability.
- Delivers an exceptional blend of daily comfort and high-speed stability that has made these a favourite among discerning RX-8 owners worldwide.
You will notice a more planted, composed and confidence-inspiring chassis almost immediately, with better compliance over rough roads, stronger mid-corner stability and a far more refined balance between comfort and grip than most coilover kits can offer.
