Very nice! Can't go wrong with HKS. Post pics of the exhaust too when you get the chance to.

Psychofox,

Could you post a pic of the car after the install. I'd like to see a lowered RX-8. BTW, what is the lowering range, ie 1"-3", 1"-4"? Thanks!

Psychofox,

Looks real nice! Is the max drop on the HKS set-up 4 inches? How many inches did you lower it? I would guesstimate yours is dropped about 2". Provides the 8 with a more aggressive stance. How's the ride quality? Thanks for your responses and awesome pics!

I never knew there was a range you can lower if you have coilovers..... :)

There are only 4 screws. Use the 4mm Allen key rather than tie on the other side.

Have any idea which one to set to... There are 4 holes (4 levels).

hehe. I loved mine especially after some serious waxing... now perfect!

Awesome pics and good job on getting something to handle the corners.

I think that HKS has pretty good coilovers, but these type tend to rust on the threads after a couple of years of use. Just try not to adjust the height too much to avoid scratching the threads that could cause rusting.
