i have my springs, but i dont have them on. i was talking to apple about my oem suspension, and i noticed that my rear sits way lower than my front. my front could fit 4 fingers between the tire and the fender while my rear can fit 2 1/2 fingers. [thats with my trunk empty]

so i might wait till i get shocks.

anyways, does anybody have pics of an rx8 dropped 2in all around? i havent seen one yet.

you can install them in the OEM shocks its not really a big problem...aftermarket shocks are just a bit stiffer and a little bit more of a drop

I have 2" sprint springs all around........my car sits pretty level actually.

and I ordered my exhaust yesterday. HKS Hi-Power and OBX Race Pipe. Wanted to change it up. I have to wait a couple of months on coilovers, but its worth it in my opinion.

have you scraped anywhere? [speed bumps] [drive ways]

and did you have to roll your fenders?

No I didn't scrape anywhere unless I was driving carelessly, you just have to pay attention to what/where you are driving.

on a very conservative 18x10 +43 w/ 245/40s I didn't have to roll, when I switched to my new setup, I definitely had to.
