XIDA coilovers
Mazda RX8

 

 RX8 Xidas are a clean sheet design specifically for high performance use. Over four years of development, many prototypes, hundreds of hours of road/track testing, fabrication and engineering work. Xidas are a true pro motorpsort level shock specifically developed for the RX8 by a multi time national championship winning race and engineering team.

  Xida offer far greater stroke and bump travel than any other two piece coilover on the market, by a huge margin. Our proprietary inverted rear shock design allows about 30mm greater bump travel than the next closest one piece RX8 shock. Nearly one inch more rear bump travel than OEM. This allows even agressively lowered cars to maintain enough bump travel. The wide damping sweep allows the driver to adjust to soft settings for street driving or very firm and tightly controlled for competition. This wide damping adjustment range means tight, competition level control on the firm settings and plush, buttery ride on the way home from the track or auto-x. All with a simple turn of the damping adjustment knob. High valving sensitivity produces both incredible grip and exceptional ride quality over any paved surface. Tiny ripples or big whoops, Xidas soak it up and keep the car planted.

Spring rate options

Race 672/448 - Track / auto-x focused. Tightly controlled and very firm street ride, never harsh.

If 255 or wider Super200 tires focused on maximum grip, 32mm front and 16mm rear.

Race kits ship with spherical bearing style rear mounts for increased precision
Functional Race ride height range with 25.0" tall tires: 135mm ~ 150mm pinch weld height

Touring 336/280 - Maximum street comfort, occasional auto-x or HPDE. 
Touring Notes: Big sway bars reduce ride quality. For Street use, best with OEM sway bars. The Xidas will greatly reduce body roll and improve sharpness vs. OEM. If in doubt, try them first on stock sway bars. 1" aftermarket front and stock rear if using 240tw+ for the occasional auto-x or track day. Don't use a bigger rear sway bar with Touring springs.
Touring kits ship with bushing style rear mounts to reduce NVH.
Functional Touring ride height range with 25" tall tires: 135mm ~ 155mm pinch weld height
