nice, good choice
... I always thought you had a silver rx8. I guess im trippin. Get the splitters they help, but I got a chunk of paint chip off on the bottom front so it doesn't cover everything. Autobahn kit + coilovers = headache.

Your car was fabulous when I saw it at sevenstock8. You aren't trippin' either, I did have a silver, but I went in and got a black. It was an "auto to manual" thing. 
How much lower do you usually have your coilovers set at? It does seem pretty scary.

Nice, the coilovers are about 1.25 inches lower all around, a bit higher than I had it with my s-techs on. I scrape so much i'm numb to it already the fiberglass is actually really strong

My driveway is still too steep, still scraping with MS front, Nothing done to suspension... imagine what it would be if I still had the Autobahn. Ack. Damn driveway parking!! *Raises fist in air*
Damn that sucks Cho. So far, I haven't scrapped anymore after learning how to angle up slopes, nothing as steep as always having to scrape. I'll give myself some more time before I get suspension on. Have S-techs sitting at home, but wondering if I should go get some 19s before I add those. I'm glad the fiberglass is strong, but spiltters will need to come soon. Where'd you get your splitters IZoomZoomI?

Get the rims first, then drop it... so you'll know how much to drop. Also you may have to align it again if you put the spring on first, then wheels.
I'm doing the other way now.. working on getting a 42" Plasma to pop out of the trunk, so I can play some games at work.

cf-type.com. There is a carbon fiber shortage currently so you would have to wait a while to get the splitters. I have an extra pair in my garage somewhere at my folks garage if I ever go back to there house I'll look for them. The split splitters help but not 100% so i'm planning on going one peice all the way through the bottom and adding some support braces later.
All you guys need rims
