Hey Angel.
Are you going to use the irs/cradle from a cobra for your 8.8 or are you having somthing custom done to use the rx8 rear suspension? Just want to know if you will be parting with any of your aftermarket rear suspension arms/traction bars/etc., I may be interested...

The 8.8 is in the rx8 subframe already. So all the bars will stay on the car. Oh btw i didnt have it done. Did it in our shop with cheo(partner in crime). Hehe

It's not like you're busy or anything, can you take some pics of it sometime, maybe list what you had to do (parts/labor) to get it done?
