nicely done!
For some reason, it looks like the rear is dropped further than the front. Also looks like the wheel well gap is less on the rear than the front. Probably just the pictures?

It does appear to be lower in the rear, but from what I remember, it always has been.

Quite possible, I'm not quite sure about the stock layout.

Eh, I've never been a big fan of body kits. If any, I would get a real MS, but for now, the stock look is good. It will give the illusion of stock when I autoX (and there will be a lot more than what I have already done before I autoX)

The rear is lower in stock form as well. If you give the car an even drop, the rear will still look lower then the front. That is why alot of people like the Tein S-Techs, they lower the front an inch more than the rear.

Looks good, I just could never get away with it where I live, the exhaust would be gone the minute I pulled into a parking lot.

Looks good, i like the even drop the Espelir springs present.

And for all of you wondering, on a stock rx8 the back seems lower then the front, and with the Espelir lowering springs they give you an even 1.2 inch drop or something like that all around, so thats why it appears that way.
