Out with the old clogged filter and in with the new TRUST filter. Thanks RX8 Upgrades!! Getting plenty more air flow now
I got one too. Just got it installed and I love it too! Can't recommend it enough.
Got my Cusco strut brace from RX8 Upgrades. Once again superb service and super fast delivery! Thanks mate I love it!

The suspension geometry Mazda engineered into the RX8 gives the car its famously balanced feel. Factory components age, however, and a well-chosen upgrade can sharpen that character considerably. The Mazda RX8 suspension parts available here span practical OEM-grade refreshes through to ride-height-adjustable coilovers, camber arms and full air suspension systems. The right direction depends entirely on how the car is used and what the finished build needs to do.
For owners after a lower, more planted stance with real adjustability, coilovers are the natural starting point. RX8 adjustable coilovers let you set ride height to suit your wheel and tyre combination. In addition, you can dial in spring rates for road or track use. They also address the vague mid-corner feel that creeps in on tired stock struts.
BC Racing RX8 coilovers are among the fitment-specific options worth examining. For example, they are engineered with RX8 geometry in mind rather than a generic platform fit. For Australian buyers, confirm the set you choose is rated for right-hand-drive fitment. Also, check that damper travel suits your intended ride height drop.
Lowering the car without addressing alignment geometry is the fastest way to uneven tyre wear and unpredictable turn-in. Therefore, adjustable camber arms and control arms recover the alignment range the factory setup assumes. As a result, you get a usable window to set negative camber correctly once ride height changes.
RX8 camber arms suit builds where the standard adjustment range has been exceeded. Moreover, front-end control arms are worth inspecting or replacing whenever other suspension parts are being refreshed. Worn bushings in the originals undermine even the best coilover or alignment setup.
An RX8 air suspension kit takes adjustability further, allowing ride height to change on demand. As a result, the car can sit at show height without compromising daily driveability. Mazda RX8 suspension parts of this type suit builds where presentation and practicality need to coexist. However, the full system requires a compressor, management unit, lines and bags. Therefore, plan the install carefully before selecting individual components.
Changing suspension geometry always affects wheel alignment. Meanwhile, the RX8’s rear geometry is particularly sensitive to ride-height variation. Therefore, a professional alignment check after any height or arm change turns quality RX8 suspension components into a car that actually feels better. Finally, refer to Mazda’s official service information for factory alignment specifications to use as a baseline.
The RX8 suspension parts range covers coilovers, control arms, camber adjustment arms and air suspension kits. Options suit everything from a straightforward refresh of worn factory components to a more focused build targeting ride height, alignment geometry or stance.
Coilovers with ride-height and damper adjustment give you the flexibility to dial in a setup that works for everyday use while still lowering the car compared to stock. The key is choosing a damping range suited to street driving and setting ride height with tyre clearance and alignment in mind before finalising the setup.
Lowering an RX8 changes the suspension geometry, which typically pulls camber outside the factory alignment range. Adjustable camber arms restore the ability to correct this, keeping tyre wear even and preserving the handling balance the platform was designed around.
Yes. Any change to ride height shifts the suspension geometry and moves camber, toe and sometimes caster away from factory settings. A full wheel alignment is essential after fitting coilovers or adjustable arms, and it is worth checking tyre-to-guard clearance at the new height before driving.
An RX8 air suspension kit replaces the standard spring and damper assembly with air-operated struts and requires an onboard compressor, air tank, valves and management system. It is a more involved installation than coilovers and suits builds where adjustable vehicle height and presentation are the primary goals. Reviewing full system requirements before purchasing is recommended.
It is worth checking the condition of bushings, ball joints and related hardware before or alongside a suspension upgrade. Worn supporting components can mask the improvement a new setup would otherwise deliver, and addressing them together produces a more consistent and predictable result.
Fitment varies by product. Some parts suit both Series 1 and Series 2 RX8 models, while others are specific to one series. Always confirm compatibility against the individual product listing before purchasing.
