Have these on my FTO, you'll have to remove the wheel and jack the car up to adjust the ride height but the dampning can be adjusted easily from the top mounts smile

i plan on driving around europe with a stop at the ring on the way.. so i need a setup that i can adjust for the track and also be set for abit more comfort on the long drives as i do do alot of millage per year.. i know the fto is no comfy bently but id like the best of both haha

Saly I have only done 0.5 miles on mine so cannot really comment laugh However on the quick drive I took up and down the road last year I'd say that on the softest setting they're similar to standard ride quality, and on the hardest setting you'll need a back brace hehe

haha ok sounds like its what im looking for tbh... i think il go with it.. is camskill the cheapest place to get them?

proberly should make a new topic but whilst i have found some FTO owners, do you know where i can get leather seat covers? iv seen an fto on ebay with very cool black leather covers with red leather centers and FTO on the head rest but i think he said he had got them from austrailia..
anyone seen them?

Camskill are probably the cheapest, or you can have mine if you want for £550? Only done 0.5 miles laugh

For leather seats, I think that if you contact a company called Ricerocket you should be able to get them from there smile

Basically, 3 years ago I bought an RX8 with the intention of selling the FTO. However come the time to sell the FTO, I kept backing out as I was too attached laugh

So I then decided to start refurbing her by changing the whole exhaust system (downpipes to backbox), suspension, wheels, engine, gearbox etc and clean off the rust etc however I never got around to doing the engine/gearbox and basically the FTO is just sat there having travelled a grand total of 0.5 miles in the 3years lol And I just think it's a waste to leave the car in the garage like that with all the new bits on so thin I will strip her down and sell everything on as money is starting to get tight now as well frown
