its about a inch lower all around than these older pics, fenders are almost to the lips in rear and fronts cover most of the tire. due to the longer wheelbase its alot harder to drive a slammed SE3p than a FC3s in my neck of the woods. i'm trying though.

Right on, it looks really good I think. I have mixed feelings about VS-KF but think it comes down to the right platform to pull them off. The rx8 is one of the only newer body cars that I think rocks them well.

These both look great! Did you end up adjusting ride height since you put these wheels on? I could have sworn I said to lower the tad a bit and you called me crazy, but looks about right here! Keep up the good work, cars like these exemplify proper RX8 builds IMHO. Especially once you get aero

From the other side of town, here is my car's current setup in 'show mode' from this past weekend. Not as aggressive as most in this thread but I DGAF the fitment rules, I <3 this thread

Thanks tilt, I have not lowered it but after I put the Swift springs on it seemed to settle a bit more. I am really happy with the height right now. I can still hit it pretty hard without destroying anything except the occasional corner light. But with the Mazdaspeed kit I will probably have to raise it since it sits 1" lower at the front lip. One can only angle so much,

Car looks great Tilt.

The Mazdaspeed Kit would make a great touch to your car 9K.

Picked these bad boys up this past weekend. It's nothing crazy aggressive. Just looking for a squared setup so that I can slap on some good tires and hit the track in Oct.
