I'm thinking about getting a Mazdaspeed spoiler, Racing Beat side and rear + INGS+1 Front Bumper. Think it would look good ( or know anyone with a simialr combo??

Also I would be driving the RX8 all year around in Canada/calgary. Think it will be fine in the winter or too low and will just become a snowplow

thanks

Its not bad, i have the INGS front in the winter.

Just...dont drive it in more then a foot of snow :-)

or get coilovers so you can hike it up, like I did

The INGS front won't match up height wise. The racing beat parts are roughly supposed to be appearance package height (for better clearance). The INGS kit has been said to be REALLY low. I've seen it in person on one car here and it was REALLY low (he had springs too though).

Maybe appearance package front lip, AutoExe front lip or LEG MOTOR SPORTS front lip together with the RB side skirts would match ok...

i agree with japan8. rb's bodykit is stock appearance package height. ings kit is lower.

doyou have any pics of the autoexe front lip?! I wasnt aware of any front lip beside OEM, Veliside and RMagic?!

thanks

never mind I found a pic of the Autoexe front lip..
do you guys think Carbon fiber front/side/rear would look good on Cooper Red car thats otherwise stock?

most of the pictures I see are on White RX8, just wondering if they look alright on other color

Suprisingly the INGS kit isn't that low. Its about the same distance to the ground as the OEM appearance package lip. You will have more problems with scraping only because it sticks out a little further.

As Moostafa says, having an Ings frontend is not an issue until you change the stock springs to a lower stance (3/4" or lower, then you realize the scraping due to the curved under bottom and slight front extention..I realize it and just drive aware the lip sits lower than normal,though road rash scraping is going to happen.....road awareness is king!

With Mazdaspeed springs and shocks would you expect clearance problems with the Mazdaspeed body kit Because my shocks and springs just got in and I'm almost set on the Mazdaspeed body kit.

To me it seems like you wouldn't since it is all Mazdaspeed. Surely Mazda wouldn't have an rx8 decked out in Mazdaspeed prouducts scrape the ground..

^You'll scrape with pretty much any aftermarket kit. I've scraped with the appearance package front lip with s techs. It really just depends on how steep the curve or bump is.

Or you must learn how to drive a lowered car..

^ I've actually scraped in a couple places with the appearance package air dam and OE springs/shocks. Just have to be careful where/how you drive.

Yeah, I measured to see if it would clear the garage (my garage is not connected to the pavement and there is a line where the pavement ends and it goes up a couple inches or so. The reason it might be a problem for the front bumper is becasue the wheels dont hit that piece for about a foot or so. But I measured it and I think it was that it would clear by about 2 inches.. But I can just get someone to watch while I drive it up the first time.

Also, it won't be nearly as much drop as the s-techs(1.4"?) but mazdasped(.79"?)
