I enjoy the MS very much but I am going to have to disagree as far as the played out in person. 99% of rx8's that I see with aftermarket front bumpers are mazdaspeed!

Carson, the car looks nice man. Veilside V1 is a subtly aggressive kit, I've always liked it on your car

Well I did say it is most likely the front you would see on a modded 8 Just not a lot of 8s on the road and even less modded 8s.

Around Lex, you hardly see rx8, I've yet to see one with a aftermarket bumper. No car scene here, gay

Same story around here... not many rx-8's around and very few modded... but most of the modded ones are people I know Also, of the modded 8's I know, 2 of them have MS front bumpers

Define "rare" lol... Especially in the Bay area they aren't rare.

There is a large concentration of them both in the Bay and in SoCal.

It is rare compared to many many other sports cars in general... The large concentration of 8s can't even compare to many others... ex: s2000, evo, sti, civic, and many more...

Tires are squared as fawk, it'll do for the time being though. Tomorrow I throw some other mods back on and adjust some camber/ride height. Car is filthy but thought I'd post up...

Looks like new wheels. Looks good too.


Anyone tried any of the Super Now suspension links? I'm thinkin about tryin them to get a little more free reign adjustment over the suspension. Alot of my FC and 240 buddies love em because it helps keep the suspension driving like stock while super low.

Yeah, new wheels :'(

Hmm, thats interesting, but pretty vague - "keeps the car driving like stock when lowered" - Care to elaborate? Are they camber arms/toe arms/traction rods?

J, they're RPF1's

edit: Imput nailed it. I didn't even see the post lol

Got a trade + cash offer that I just couldn't turn down. New rpf1 + new ecsta spt's never hurts either <3 It'll just be something new in another 4 months anyways

nahh, I wish I had gotten those in sbc though. This deal was for some 9.5 +15's. This setup is actually the same difficulty to fit because same offset and same tire size. Might even be a bit harder because they're a hair higher without the stretch. But yeah, not the 10.5 +15's

So if I were to add some 20mm hubcentric spacers to my weak *** current offset rims how much fender mods would I need? I got 18x8.5 +45, so offset would effectively +25mm with the spacer...I imagine a fender roll at least. I would like a 16-18mm spacers but I can't find any in that size, most are just in increments of 5mm...

These are the spacers I am eyeing: http://www.evasivemotorsports.com/Me...de=WS-5511467B

Good brand?

I'm assuming your on 245, most likely you won't need a roll if you have some camber, but your not gonna know for sure till you try it.
