Nothing has change for the worse as far as balance goes.....In fact, im pretty sure its a positive upgrade....
As for the "Upset Balance" regarding staggered rims goes, read carefully....those forumers was reffering to the 350Z initially then somehow started to refer to the Rx8....... Staggered setup introduces slight understeer...... In the case of the Rx8 where our balance is roughly 51:49 (almost perfect 50:50) there isn't any negative outcome to that..... Bro Goober and our fellow REclubMalaysia can attest to the Rx8 superior handling characteristics......
Im actually very happy with my staggered setup.....Even Kean's 8 is staggered.... Most modded 8's are staggered..... Those ppl who are against staggered setup are just finding things to complain about...... Think bout it, a car can be tuned indefinately........ Any which way u want..... U can tune ur handling to have more understeer or oversteer........ Neutral is also good.......personally, i like to introduce a hint of oversteer which gives u better controll through corners......
I could go on and on and on and on.........
Anywayz, how u tune ur ride heavily depends on drivers driving style and preferences......... Most tuned cars (especially rearwheel drive cars) run staggered setups..........
I have been and always will be all for STAGGERED setups.......

"Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, Torque is how far you take the wall with you."
"Having faith in old rotaries is like being an Islamic fundamentalist.
You have to accept the fact that you're going to blow up sooner or later ."

Change adjustable suspension lor...Adjust it high when u back home,adjust it back when u go out again
but without the side skirt it look weird. Just my 0.02 cents again.
