I can't speak about coilovers, but the lightweight of the rotary and the perfect 50/50 balance made the RX-8 a handling dream. However, as I've said on other threads, the fact that given the 240ish HP and low torque, you were never really over the limits of the car. The Z requires more skill to make it handle well near its limits, IMO.
