I believe the drop on the espelir is around 1.2" in the front and .07" in the back. I'm not trying to go too low because of the crappy roads down here in Houston.

Once I recover from the wheel purchase then I'm going to start looking for an exhaust since my rear end looks a little empty without one. I will probably go with an HKS since I just ordered an HKS intake. After that then its body kit time..

I guess you can say I'm at halftime with my modding for now..

Looks great. Might look a touch better if you paint your rotors black

Thanks. Painting rotors is also on the to do list.

We have a wheel just like the Axis Milano 18x8.5 / 18x10.0 and 19x8.5 / 19x10.0. Offsets are specific for RX8. You can find the pics at the bottom of the page.

Here is the link to the GB. https://www.rx8club.com/group-buy-center-85/gb-18-19-staggered-wheels-80094/

The Black wheels will be here in about 3 weeks.

Mike
