I am kind of in the same boat as Bobby. I need to get some work done on the rear brakes on my TL but I don't know a good mechanic to go to when I want to supply parts myself. I need new rear pads and (probably) rotors and I am partial to Hawk pads but the place I usually go near my office for oil changes doesn't let you provide your own parts. I would really prefer to do it myself but I do not have the tools, workspace, or know-how ![Frown](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/frown.gif)
Any suggestions around the Lebanon or Northern Cincy area? Much appreciated.
Also, @Kytten - I have not seen the red 8 in our complex in a few weeks now, so it might be garaged or just parked elsewhere so I can't say if it seems to be running or not.

I noticed my MPG went down. It must be the defective driver's side visor causing drag. ![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
The 8 needs a visit to Kings to put on the new visor and my freebie oil change.
I saw a black S2 (I think) headed north on US 22 today. Kind of looked like an R3. Hard to tell since I was going the other way and not looking that close.

Nope wasn't me.
On a side note I just realized these Tein S Techs I just bought would drop my car too low to get into the parking lot at my apartment complex. I only have a half inch of clearance if that as it is. I would bottom the **** out of my car going in and out. Kinda depressing. So I guess the new springs are a no go.

Mighty big curb. So far I only had once place where I had a little scrap. My friend's house. I park on the street now. My drop wasn't as low as I thought it would be. Maybe an inch up front and less in back.

Anyone know anyone with a Nordic green, with black oem wheels and pink brake calipers with some words on the car that days "redline all day" In Florence? I came out of fitworks and it was parked right next to mine. Lol

This is the curb in question. The pictures are kind of deceiving but it is quite high. At the point where the bottom of my car is closest to the ground there is about a half inch of clearance. I mean if you all think it could work I might just try and go for it and see what happens

That damn gate that I have to drive through makes it basically impossible to hit it at an angle... I thought about that as well.
I believe you are on to something there BB. I like the sound of that. Hit me up and let me know how much you would let them go for. I'm kinda on the broke side with rent coming up next week but maybe I can try and work something out.

I am on Tanabe's which are lower than Teins and i very rarely have any issues with curbs. My buddy who had Teins on his never really had any issues at all. Also i believe Fuz is rolling on Teins and i don't believe he has any issues. I mean yeah, we scrape a little here and there but no big deal, doesn't really hurt the car. this curb you are talking about must be the largest in the world. maybe if you go at it at an angle? thats what i have to do at my gf's parents' driveway.

I was going to suggest carrying a couple pieces of 2 x 4 in the trunk but you need a forklift to get over that beast.

Yeah, they looked like they were spray painted too, ahahah.
I have a bb rx8 with the red and black trim,
I'm usually at the gym from 3-5 on weekdays.
