It's looks nice..

But since I know that can damage the caster and the camber I will never do that, that what happen to my last car , that's why I know.

Looks good man. I know you said that you need spacers and you're right, the front wheels definitely need spacers.

If you put spacers, you might have to bend the fenders.

These kinds of contests are like an event at the Special Olympics ... only where everyone finishes in reverse order

but if you are happy then more power to you, it just irks me that somebody always has to be lower, have their wheels stick out further, have the largest diameter wheels, the tallest and widest rear wing, etc.. There is just a point where absurdity kicks in, that is all I'm saying

It's actually pretty easy to be the lowest, just remove the springs and drag the ground. Then you can shoot for who has worn down their rocker panels the most.

It's just like pissing contests and ***** sizes. Who has something to hide will take part in them, who is able to use his weenie will just shut up and have fun with it.

car is still driven hard. but honestly if you think a stock Rx-8 is fast then you need help. I had a 11 second daily before this that was stolen. Went for a simple clean look and morre performance. On the rx8, im just doing all looks. Its a work in progress but its getting there. Wheels are going to be changed and once i get spacers im going to lift her a bit and make it flush.

I don't care about straight speed times.
Are you aware of how suspension geometry works and why lowering a car past a certain point means making it way slower?
If you want a low car more power to you, just don't say stupid things like "it's drive hard" "it's faster than the stock setup" etc.

11 seconds around which road course? Or is that an autocross run time?
