I was so close to buying LM20s! They don't make them in 19s though :/
Love the car. Done right. Proper.
Can't wait till I get my works!

I have now seen every page in this thread, and it was good. Sick setups folks. That is all.

i only rub pulling into my driveway and my fenders are fine. and i understand what you are saying. im just tired of people being ********* for no reason its all taste and opinionated "facts" of what an aggressive fitment is. my wheels are aggressive but i admit the overall stance of the car isnt because im only on s techs. i cant afford coilovers at the moment because i have kids to worry about so i settled on a good deal with the s techs. in my opinion my car is aggressive but i do want to go lower.

Dude can I ask what kind of config you have done on your BC's?

I have some BC's atm until my custom ordered Silkroads get here and I absolutely hate these things... so much suspension travel and droop...

Any advice to minimize the suspension travel on these things? My 18x9.5 +22 all round TE37s are getting mounted friday when they get back from the powder coaters...

First 8 with CCW's. I hope those tire are temporary because the sizing is absolutely retarded.

Stretched tyres and maximum neg chamber (-3deg i think) then I had to roll and pump the guards... still get a little scrapage on bumpy roads or if I have passengers.

Not a RX-8 but DAMN, that's aggressive!!!
Anyone tried going this crazy on a Rx-8? Looks like a lot of work to make this drivable but the result is mind blowing.

If you want less issues I suggest you (and everyone) invests in Megan racing adjustable upper control arms. You can add and subtract camber with the twist of the arm.
I'm on -4.4 in the rear right now.

Put them on full stiff and add some negative camber so you avoid banging the wheels

Dont worry... my Silkroad's are coming and have no suspension travel!

My problem isn't the wheels hitting... its the fact that I push hard in the hills and my rails are grinding down pretty hard...
