I saw a blue one this morning. Tinted windows (of course) and lowered!

Why lower it? There isn't much clearance there anyway, and it restricts the options on custom exhausts etc. Would not sway bars give a much better handling return?

Is it just a "my car looks cooler than yours thing?".

 

I agree :D

Sway bar > lower car (which is gay and rice)

"Do it properly" as I will say :D Use the whole coilover. :D

 

Sway bars and coilovers turn the already sweet handling 8 into a scalpel. Ric Shaw installed my coilovers for me and dropped the car about an inch and a quarter all round. Although its a great look, the handling improvements were what I was after! Ask the others on the Forum about Wakefield Park, this setup really ties the car down and makes a mug like me look like he has half a clue, that is until Ric Shaw goes past you like your standing still!!!

 

Having had the opportunity of driving emacks (Pauls ) car at wakefield i can attest to his statement , his ride was a great improvement on stock .

Its just a pity that he didnt buy his rx8 in yellow .he he he

I live in Melbourne, where did you get the work done?

 

Ric Shaw sells and ships them. Just order them (check out his website) and get a local workshop to fit them, or do it yourself if you feel capable.

 

My sway bars are Racing Beat and the Coilovers are JIC. I fitted this gear before Ric released his products.

 

I totally vouch for the handling and look of emack's car...just don't go bush in it - or even to a shopping mall with speed bumps.
