That roll bar doesn't look right anymore, as oof right now the car doesn't lookr right with the wheels, but the FABULOUS kit would be the only kit that might make those wheels look right....might. I think there were other Kranze wheels you could have gotten that were VIP + semi sporty. It's hard to take away the sporty look from the 8 without going widebody (rmagic).

Sorry, ended up deleting those photos, wasn't pleased with them. No other real rear shots right now unfortunately.

I'm down with Vishunu's, but just really dig the Bazreias. Were on my laundry list of wheels to own, a craving that has since been satisfied. It's okay if my car doesn't look "right" to many, if opinions were always the same the internet would be boring.

honestly tilt I have respect for you for doing what YOU WANT to do to your car. is it my thing? not really but I can certainly appreciate the hard work and creativity. I get tired of coming onto forums and people hate on you because your not a lemming doing the same mods as the next guy.
In any case your car is fresh keep it up man.

so what do you guys think about after market camber arms necessary or not?

also I ordered a pair of tierod/rod ends from japan parts I remember having them on my s13 and being able to do lane to lane U-turns it was awesome. a few more weeks and I will have some new pics of my S1 with new kicks and stance

aftermarket tie rods are worth getting if your spending alot of time on the track, still a plus, stock camber settings on the 8 still works fine, but if u want it to look agressive then i concur with your decision,

If your looking for more steering angle, you have to get tie rods that are longer than the OEM ones. Otherwise there will be no gain in angle. I don't think anyone makes this for the rx8. You'll be better off with tie rod spacers. Or just get your knuckle modified.

That has nothing to do with camber.

I am just super excited to do something a little different, that I haven't really heard anyone wanting to do with the 8. Still keeping it realistic though and not going too extreme in the VIP styled direction (i.e. ridiculously stretched tires, undriveable, etc.).
If your goin VIP, check out the Junction Produce automotive parts line. Lots of crazy vip stuff there.

Familiar with their products, but definitely not going all out VIP. I'll leave that to the large body sedans. Just looking for a bit of overlapping styles without going too crazy.

Munchy your car looks really good in that article, nice work. For your wheels in that size and offset did you have to pull the fenders much?
