I read more than I post on here but I finally got around to getting some pics to show everyone. One before shot when I first got the car and a few after shots, meaning after I added a few things which I did all myself! So, enjoy... hope you like it and hope this works!!


Before:


After:

 

That yellow is striking! And the ride-height is PERFECT

 

Sexy, love the yellow

 

Thank you very much both of you, but by the way dmp I meant to say the pictures you took of yours are just wonderful! I wish I had some of those picture taking skills!

 

How much did you lower it?

 

I got the Tein S-Techs for it which I believe it was .8" for the front and .5" for the back. It wasn't a big drop, and I didn't want one considering my past few cars I lowered too much and ended up hating it eventhough it looked good.

 

very nice... are u planning on getting the full kit?

 

those sides look awesome

 

I like it a lot. I like the "progression" pics as well. It's like playing 'where's waldo?'.

Imo, I think all you need are strakes to compliment the fuel lid and maybe a spoiler. Very nice though.

 

looks clean

 

No probably not - well at least not anytime soon... I really like this look and I also like how the front end with the air dam looks. Who knows, I may get the rest sometime down the road!

I love the MS sides, it just really adds to the car plus I had to persuade my wife to let me get those... it only took almost a year for her to finally let me get them!!!!

 

Strakes and possibly the MS wing are what I'd like to do next! Good call!

 

looks sweet, excellent color choice, heh, def makes me want to get the full skirts now....but im not sure if i would lower it, do you have any pics of the car w. the skirts before the lowering?

 

No I unfortunately don't. I lowered it before I got the sides.

 

now that is a clean looking lightning yellow! i'm set now on getting the S-techs!

 

I usually dont like yellow but yours looks great. Good job :D

 

did you change the shocks also or just the springs? I was going to use the s-tech but everyone told me that i would soon waste my shocks and also experience a bumpy ride. How does it ride? Is handling effected?

Sorry for bombarding you with questions :D

 

s-tech's really dont lower that much at all dont waste your time with them as I have previously had them, your better off with eibach or espelir (think thats how u spell it). I wasnt impressed with the difference the car was still 4x4. Until the new suspension that is. :D

 

Leave it the way it is.....that's one of the cleanest, not over done RX8's I've seen....low..mean but not over the top...very nice!

 

Wow, looks nice even though I was never a fan of yellow... the only thing I don't really like is the front license plate... time to move to a new state!

 

I have the 35% tint on my car also on a sunlite silver ,but against that yellow paint job,,that really is awsome.............nice ride u have.

 

hmm.. haven't thought of the front air dam with ms side skirts before.

gotta say. looks sweet

 

Ditto.

 

Well, thanks to everyone for the great comments!! Makes me proud to be part of the community! With this car I didn't want to go over the top like I've done with my past cars... just wanted it to look great by doing simple things! It seems I've accomplished that by reading everyone's comments. Thanks again, I love this car!!!

Oh and rocket rider, to answer your question I just changed the springs. With such a minimal drop the s-techs give, the stock shocks are fine. The car seems to handle even better with these compared to stock, and not too bumpy at all. I can even still make it over speed bumps! For me it was the perfect drop.
