With the popularity of the RX-8 chassis in SCCA Touring 4 growing. Along with recent changes to the spec line allowing 700lb front & 400lb rear springs. Mazda Motorsports saw a need in the marketplace for a suspension upgrade. This new, non-adjustable shock offering is legal for SCCA T4 as well as a great option for endurance series and track day customers.

 

 

 

 

This project is made possible by the Spec MX-5 (SMX) shock development with Penske Racing Shocks; as the NC MX-5 & the RX-8 are a shared chassis design. The shock body lengths, valving and rear mounts have been optimized for the RX-8 chassis.
