yeah lowering would make the car look better all around, more agressive (without having to change the front), ...but it will be hard with those 20s without scraping the wheel well

Well i would not even think of bagging my car...im just not into it ...but if you do be prepared to loose the trunk space for the compressor and gain in weight...and it will throw you 50:50 weight distribution out the window ....but yet people have different styles and want the cars for different things...so in other words, its your car your money so do whatever YOU want and like .... but i will still go with the coilovers!!! lol

Tein's EDFC will only adjust stiffness, not ride height. You can however set the height to your preference before hand.

At ease gentlemen, let's not turn this into a flame war. It'll only serve to aggravate everyone in the forum and I would like to think an RX-8 owner is possessed of a little more decency than that.

And I have no idea how bags run. Tein's run pretty comfy though, lol.

For the weight gain from the bag system he coul drop in a 20b and be balanced again. The i would like to see people clown on his car as he flew by them scraping.

More a reference to the back and forth between a TransAm and Zum. Yes, the car is a little riced in some people's opinions, though we've all seen far worse. Still the idea established earlier on in this thread is to keep it in good humor and not **** each other off when it comes to displaying cars of fellow members.

now that has to be one of the dumbest comments i've ever seen and almost signature worthy. opinions are just that - opinions. i don't really care for the veilside but saw chrism's in person and it was done right and looked good. there's also another guy on here who was selling his in a two-tone and it looked nice as well.

a whole forum can't be wrong....

You are aware there are no significant gains to be found from an intake on an 8 right? In fact, many of them loose power while making more noise.

lol's that's my point. like these ppl with big spoilers, noisey exhausts, spinning rims, ect. do all this stuff on the exterior, but my 8 still smokes them without much effort. with all that money they should try and make the cars actually more powerful. IDK, I wouldn't want too much attention to my car in the first place lol's, cops will be stalking me everywhere hahaha.
