Can anyone tell me if this height is streetable in the tristate area? I most likely will get a urethane replica ms front bumper to absorb some impact.

Incase you cant tell, i dropped it to about how my car sits now(except im on oem exterior)

The MS kit reduces your height quite a bit. If you are that low you will likely destroy it unless you are really careful.

mazdaspeed says 141mm off the ground on stock height i believe. Im lowered on sprint springs... so...

141mm=5.6inches off the ground on stock height.
Which means it would be.. 3.6 inches off the ground.

Without coilovers that would be a nightmare waiting to happen. Lowering springs are progressive, they are not stiff enough.

considering how much of a drop the sprints give, my shocks are bound to blow and when they are im picking up a set of coilovers, either megans or teins. I dont really care any more that they are worse than oem. The rx8 is my daily and soon ill have a fd to pour every penny into.

on a side note.

Im currently 4inches off the ground, i think 3.6 is doable
