Yes, I believe that's revision C. Racing Beat is a good store for Mazda's, I'd trust them when they say it's the real OEM coilset.

APEXi Electronic SMART Accelerator Controller with Harness for Mazda RX8 (Series 1 & 2, 2003-2012)
Boost 1 felt impressive indeed. Very easy to chirp the rears and get TRC active. This would probably be the all-round mode you could use every day. Lovely accelerator response and a positive feeling that the car is faster off the mark. Boost 2... where do I start? Perhaps with the black lines I've been leaving on my test track. This mode is absolutely ridiculous, and care should be taken when the car is in Sport mode and TRC turned off. You can easily get the car to light up the rears with the absolute minimum of effort. The first time I tested this I was genuinely surprised and had to tap the brakes and give out a sigh of shock. Amazing power delivery... it feels as though the car has been turbocharged and off the line performance is stellar. All in all, for around $250 delivered, this is one amazing piece of hardware. Overall rating: A++ Takes the sluggishness out of the IS to transform it into a spritely beast.
GP Sport has built its reputation in Japan developing performance components. These prioritise real-world driver engagement over pure specification numbers. For the RX8, that philosophy aligns closely with what the platform already does well. The RX8 is a lightweight, naturally balanced sports car. As a result, it rewards precision upgrades over blunt force modifications. The brand’s parts are designed to refine what the engineers intended. They push handling, response and composure further. Moreover, they do so without compromising the character that makes the RX8 worth driving.
The RX8’s chassis is genuinely capable from the factory. However, aged rubber, stock geometry limitations and original suspension valving all leave room for meaningful improvement. GP Sport addresses these areas with components developed and validated in Japan. Because of the demanding roads and a highly informed enthusiast culture, the bar for what a performance part must deliver is set high.
An upgrade programme for the RX8 is most effective when each part addresses a specific weakness in the stock setup. GP Sport components suit owners who have already sorted the fundamentals: fresh tyres, cooling and reliable ignition. The focus can then shift to sharpening the driving experience itself.
Whether the goal is a more confident back-road companion or a car that holds its line on track, the range is developed to work together as part of a cohesive build. The components are designed to complement each other across suspension and chassis.
Pair them with quality bushings and a proper alignment to get the full benefit of any geometry or suspension work.
GP Sport produces performance-focused aftermarket parts for the RX8, including suspension components, exhaust systems and handling upgrades. The range is aimed at owners looking to improve driving feel and chassis performance rather than purely cosmetic changes.
GP Sport is a Japanese aftermarket manufacturer with a long-standing presence in the tuning market, known for producing parts developed on Japanese roads and circuits. Their components are well regarded among enthusiasts for quality construction and genuine engineering focus.
GP Sport parts designed for the RX8 are engineered to fit the specific chassis dimensions and mounting points of the car. As with any aftermarket upgrade, checking that the specific part number matches your Series 1 or Series 2 build is recommended before purchasing.
Most GP Sport suspension and handling components benefit from professional fitting and a wheel alignment afterwards to ensure the car is set up correctly. Some parts may also require basic mechanical familiarity, so professional installation is the safest approach for owners who are not experienced with suspension work.
Yes, GP Sport parts are generally developed with both street and circuit use in mind, making them a practical choice for owners who want improved performance without sacrificing everyday drivability. Always confirm the specific product's intended use case before fitting.
GP Sport components are engineered specifically for defined applications rather than adapted from universal parts, which means fitment, balance and performance characteristics are developed for the intended chassis. This typically results in more predictable handling outcomes compared to generic alternatives.
