I still haven't decided which color I like best. I'm a little biased towards Galaxy Grey since that's what I have.. But this car looks amazing in almost all of them!
P.S. - I haven't forgot about the battles pictures I promised.. I'm waiting for the body shop to fit my OEM body kit before taking some new pictures.

So I had a question for ones who had to shave there rear bumper tabs to run an agressive fitment. How did u properly mount the corner of the rear bumper to the fender so it aligns perfect again? Im running 19's with 245/35/19 and it was rubbing so much that i had to do away with the bumper tab and shave a little of the plastic mount that is in the corner a well so now the corner of my bumper sticks out or in too much. Thanks

Unfortunately I just traded my 18's for these 19's so there's no going back. Regardless most of the rx8's on this thread are tucking wayyyy harder then I am so they had to of shaved off there bumper tab. I definitely agree I need stiffer springs. At the moment I'm running oem suspension with tien lowering springs but the suspension seems to be so loose. I feel rx8's do horrible with weight. Putting 3 people in my car makes it drop a ridiculous amount.

The 19's are 8.5 unknown offset. I'd love to get coil overs and that would most definitely solve the softness in the suspension but unfortunately can't afford em right now lol. The tien springs are real there not knock offs.

There's no way the offset is low enough to make an 8.5 rub. Need to dump those springs and go with something a lot stiffer. But I don't think that is your problem. Something else is wrong. Need more specs and maybe a Pic or two

^ I DEMAND SPECS AND MORE PICTURES NOW. Also my 18x9.5 +10 never rubs at all, coilovers are set inbetween full soft and the halfway point. You shouldn't be rubbing
