Do you post pics of your car daily?

I think one shot is good enough, you should stop.

^ Soon to be the ultimate picture *****. I do like your car just quickly getting overexposed.

Also not trying to be rude but it doesnt really seem all that aggressive.

It is annoying. They sit flush now, drop your car another 2 inch and you will need 35mm spacers.

Your fenders aren't even rolled... your killin this once epic thread thread bro.

Yes, please stop. No need to flood this thread with pics of your RX8 if nothing major as changed. We already know what your RX8 looks like from your 200 previous pictures.

So question guys I am wanting to get my stance about how this g35 is in the rear, I will be getting the same tire sizes he is running and also will have coilovers soon, other than getting the fenders rolled and maybe cutting some tabs would a stance like this be possible with the stock camber adjustment?

I figured this would be a better place for the question as opposed to the will it fit thread since it is a picture other than rx8 speciale's

mine sorta looks like that. it's doable with 10" or 10.5" in the rear. 11 if you're krrraazzyy

you'll need to push out/pull out the fenders too.

my camber was adjusted to -4.1 degrees in the rear.

ill put some pics up soon.

Has nothing to do with camber adjustment, he doesn't have too much negative camber. The wheels simply need to be pushed out far enough while tucking tire and voila, flush fitment.

With regards to chipping wheels, I have never had that issue. Wheels take a certain amount of damage from normal use but I haven't had any unusual amounts of problems personally.

Big thing about trying to get stance like that G is stiff coilovers with good dampening. BC coilovers will make you get stiff for under a grand. Stock rx8 suspension has an unusually large amount of adjustment.

If I could redo it over again I'd got with an 11k front and a 8 or 9k in the rear. Hope you got healthy teeth

Powertrix, Powertrix, Powertrix!

For those looking for coilovers that offer a wide range of ride height adjustability (i.e. dumped), cheap price, and high quality, I strongly recommend checking out the Powertrix coilovers that will be open to group buy soon!

These look like a good alternative; I can get Tein basics for 700 shipped but might wait for these.
