Dropped low on stock wheels

Hey guys. I migrated my way over here from the Kabura forum, but I was wondering if there are any pics of RX-8s dropped fairly low on the stock wheels.

Razz, Cars cannot behave like snakes. It is necessary that only wheels touch the ground, not the rest of the car.

The red and the blue leave me with a hard piece of meat.

My VR has Tein S-Tech and OEM struts, the WB (Astral) has Tein S-Tech and Koni Yellows. It's actually too low for practical use in city dwelings. He scrapes often and is replacing springs soon.

In my opinion, lowering the car is the first thing one should do before exhaust, pulleys, intake, etc....

Looks and handling are greatly improved regardless of what route you take....either with aftermarket springs/shock combo or spending the dough on a nice set of coilovers.

Yeah, thanks for the pictures guys! The 8 looks SO much better lowered. I don't think I would even consider it at stock height.

Especially the front wheel gap. It's crazy!

No rubbing at all for me, but you have to watch the steep driveways, parking blocks and speed bumps.
