They are popular for Proteges. I have a set sitting on a shelf waiting for new struts.

I'd check your stock spring rates vs. the S techs....I've heard the S techs can make a ride with already decent suspension (like the RX-8) feel soft.

I'm not quite sure what shocks would be partnered with the Teins. I know the MS springs kill the stock shocks fairly quickly, which is why I'm replacing mine with the matching MS shocks.

You should be fine with Teins (S or H Tech) as they are specifically spring rated for your RX-8. Later on if you'd like you could upgrade struts/shocks.
