Might as well be a grand a wheel.
The 18x9 comes in 42mm offset with a 56mm lip.

Vendors on this site can be completely RUINED with just one shady encounter or a collective series of small, shady acts; especially smaller operations. You would think by now that was a well understood FACT. LOL, just another day in "As the RX8club World Turns".

I have to think of something i want.....maybe the BHR crew/cohorts could put up a small "Preview" section with a bunch of known, popular items in all price ranges that could give us undecided a reason to buy something

I will be looking into DBA rotors. I have not requested a quote yet so no idea if I can afford them this month.

I'll get Ray right on it.

You must have something in mind already? Intakes are a good start if you haven't done any mods to the car yet. Also Sway Bars if you want some better handling.
Check out the list on the BHR sale thread. It will give you an idea of the brands that will be available.

Can really recommend the DBA rotor's. One of the first mods l did:



Not sure what l will get.. I've got suspension and sway bars, braided brake lines, wheels and exhaust. BHR doesn't sell the Cobb AP do they? the only other thing l can think of is the pulleys...

If you want an exhaust or intake then choose a Borla or Agency Power exhaust (I think BHR sells both but could be wrong). If you want an intake then the AEM is a great choice as it will sound great with an NA car and is usable in a lot of FI applications so if you ever do go FI it'll be one less thing you need to change.
Hey RK thank you for your input. I am still straddled on the fence as to go FI or stay NA. If i was to go FI it would be at least a year away.

If you want a particular product and the Manufacturer say's it's on back order. We will still honor the sale price until that item becomes available from the manufacturer or for 60 days. Which ever comes first..

I have spoken.

Let's get on with some more ideas.

I'm honestly not sure what I want out of this sale... most of the things left on my TODO list for this year aren't things I can get through this sale (AFE SS, tint, AP). Considering gauges but not decided yet.

Look, with a sale of this magnitude would it take way more time to do as you requested than it will for you to simply PM us. I don't care what other retailers are charging because this sale is truly BHR's wholesale cost+shipping. Nothing more. If Fluid, Works, or any other vendor can give you a better price, cool and go for it. There may be a lot of tough-talking and hotshotting it around here lately but whose ideas are they that seem to be ahead of the pack in almost every instance? And who is it that always seems to want to do as BHR does?

Yeah, um, I don't remember that in our last Board Meeting and we need to discuss it further. Either way, BHR will find a way to take care of our people like we always do.

On a long enough time line, everybody eventually reveals themselves.


Alright, lets get back to ideas since this sale starts TOMORROW!!!
My suggestion: if anybody here has been thinking of putting springs on their car to fix up that front wheel gap that we all looooove so much, I suggest picking up some new struts! The reality is you're doing all the same work anyways, might as well kill two birds with one stone.

I have Konis and they ROCK but also heard Ray talk highly of the Tokico. Decisions, decisions...

Well, the konis will ride lower with the same springs then lets say Tokico due to them being s low pressure gas shock... Ive seen this first hand since a local fellow RX8 owner had koni yellows..

I simply prefer the D-Specs because they are easily, and infinitely, adjustable while the Konis are more difficult to adjust. However, if people openly discussed their damper settings on the Konis, and the various contexts in which they use them, I am sure that would be helpful to others so they can set the Konis before the installation.

Koni's are a royal PITA to adjust the rears....
