they are 265/35 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus (great tread life)

I was thinking the same thing on the drop....kind of wishing I had gone adj. coilovers vs. Blistiens with progress springs....maybe I will find someone to sell them to in the future.

Neah, give it some time the springs may settle some more. You can allways send your stuff into FCM and have the car lowered even more. The FCM re-valve job will be much better then the typical coil over set up.

I think they are pretty much settled but my front-passenger corner is a 1/4" higher than drivers (its always been that way) so adjustable would kind serve dual purpose.

Do you have to call them about the re-valve job? I haven't read through all their stuff yet but didn't see it in the forefront. I did see the coil-over addition for bilsteins for $250 that's much cheaper than replacement coil-overs

Alright guys I am going to try to post it here before I make a thread. Trying to help a friend unload some parts off his rx8. The exhausts price my friend says is somewhat workable.

For sale I have two items:
Axial Flow Short Shifter: 200 needs a 20 dollar bushing from Axial flows website.

Greddy Sp2 exhaust: 450 for the exhaust.

Thanks SARX! Items will be in Houston or shipped if desired.
