Springs, Sirius....Check

I got my H&R springs installed last weekend and my Sirius installed this wekend. Here are a few pics of the finshed product. I went with the H&R's because I liked the drop more than the other springs I had seen on the forum (and I got a killer deal on them.) The handling was dramatically improved, and the ride is better than stock imo.
As you all know, the only option for satellite radio is plug and play. I had a direct tuner in my last car and loved the clean look. So I decided to go with the Starbase unit because of its small size. I was able to put it in the ash tray so I could acheive the look I wanted.

Here are a few pics:

Looked clean... Might be too much drop though if you're planning to go aftermarket wheels later.

That unit has a FM transponder. You turn it on and set your factory radio to a certain station and then you can hear your music

i took the ashtray insert out then took my dremel and cut the little divider there just big enough for the display to fit, then i made a notch for the wire to come through. the wire for the display comes through the notch from inside the console. with the ashtray door closed, you can barely see the wire, you have to be looking for it to see it. i like how it turned out, just like i planned. the unit could be removed, but the way i have all the wiring run, you would have to take out the console to remove it.

thanks for the compliments!!

btw, are there any "camber adjusters" or "camber correctors" for the rx8? i was told you could buy them and install them to prevent wearing your tires on the inside so quickly. are these available, or was the guy just talking out his ***?
