Rigo is all about that "hardparking" business

That RX7 looks awesome! A rear piece would complete it.

This car sort of reminds me of what mine used to be; full feature here -> http://www.the-lowdown.com/tuan-mazda-rx-8/



I love those wheels! I would definately get some blue wheels if my 8 wasn't red. And have you posted pics of the Varrstoen's?

All of my wheel photos can be seen here -> http://www.flickr.com/photos/inghostcolours/sets/

There's a reason I didn't list them in my build thread though, never actually owned a set

That dumped 8 on XXR's - bagged, right? If coils, ****.

I don't know if he bagged or not (since I don't know him), but I definitely know it's possible to go that low. Dude down in Houston (Rigo Huerrera sp? is his name on here) is probably that low. IF he hasn't gone lower by now. I know the last my buddy had told me, Rigo could hit small bumps and drag the pinch weld on the road.

lol, Rigo posted on this page, posted pics of his car on the previous page, I worked with Rigo to get him Powertrix coilovers, and we're friends on Facebook

I've been pretty low myself and will say that thing looks dumped. Could be the sunk wheels exaggerating it though, as sunk wheels will make a car seem lower than if the wheels are flush.

Which reminds me - Rigo, looks good dude, glad you got the fitment drama sorted out
