These are pics of Toca's ride. They are Work wheels 18" and he has Racing Beat springs. I think they are awsome wheels and look perfect in this sizing. You may want to PM him for more specifics on rims/tire sizes, offsets and such. You can find him in a couple of threads, like the Malibu thread, or San Bernardino thread in the California regional section. Good luck on your project.

The other red in the first pic is Lesper4. Stock 18 inch setup on stock suspension. Just thought it would be nice to see a side by side shot.

Nice wheels RX8 250f. Would love to get a similar setup for my girlfriend's 8. I want to find her a set in gold/bronze. Are they TPMS compatible?

Glad I didn't go racing beat suspension, height looks the same as stock.

Yah, about 0.5'' drop F/R. I've been noticing a lot of variety in stock ride heights however, so I guess the drop you get should be more tailored to what you're starting with, as well as how low you want it. Xrider01's car is slammed, and he has stock suspension. CarribeanSpiceBoy's car is also slammed with stock suspension. I recalled picking my 8 because it was sitting lower than the other ones next to it. Don't know why, but there are differences even though things are supposed to be standardized.
