Heres my rx8 as i had it prepared for Hawaii Mazdafest 2011. I spent the weekend preceeding the Sunday afternoon event to prep it from before to after.


1st Before



2nd Before




Heres the New after KSport RS Coilovers and new brake rotors and Progress Swaybars and F&R Strut Tower Bars.

 

Aggressive looking. Thumbs up!

Anyway, did you paint the wheels? Looks different from the before pictures? Just curious.

 

Looks good. Not feeling being that low on stockers though.

 

thank guys. im going to have to raise it up about .75 to an inch to be able to drive to work sometime next week so when i have spare time im going to bring it up and then to the alignment shop.

and yes the wheels are now a charcoal gray/gunmetalish color. i actually had the guts to let my girl take care of the wheels as i had all the suspension work to do.

 

Looks great. I like it a lot.

 

yea, looking too low right now. shud look good once u raise it back up a lil :D

 

looks good, spacers

 

looks like your front rotors are on backwards

 

Car looks good overall. A little low in the front, but I like the overall look. Did you powdercoat the stockers or rattle can them?

 

nice, what type of paint did you use? i may do this to my stockers, till i find a set of R3's..

love the yellow, was really looking for one but found my Green.

 

my rotors are put on the right way not depicted by the externally cut slots but the internal vanes btwn the outbd and inbd plates. it was odd to have the slots in the opposite direction of the vanes but i read that the cooling vanes are the main direction pointer as to right and left. as for the height, i did raise it up a bit, maybe .75inches roughly now it rides smoother. as for the color for the rims it was an oreillys store bought rim paint. i forget what brand. obviously not the best but for the price and it did what i wanted which was hold up for teh show. i just found a local person who could powdercoat rims for $40 a piece so looks like thats where these are heading next.

 

Very good! this is an important observation many people overlook

Car looks good
Where did you get the extended lip on the air dam?

 

looking really good

 

do you really want to know........it was cheap and its purpose was to see if me buying a "real" lip kit would be reasonable given i drive this car to work everyday and Hawaii roads arent the best i gotta say. but now, the cars at the height i wanted and any lip kit i saw shopping around was too low and would get demolished here lol. so this flex lip is the best i found so far.

 

go yellow! And shiny too!
