Thanks. Was selling them and no buyers so I said the heck with it and put them on and am pretty pleased with everything. I've had these on my subie, honda, and now the 8. Most people get different rims for there cars, and it seems like I get different cars for my rims.

Do you mean the wheels or all the 8's, sorry for the blonde response. I was at the kent island meet this weekend, a nice 6 1/2 hour drive one way.

I love this set-up. How much lower is your car than stock? Did you have to roll the rear fenders at all? Any rubbing on your rear shocks? What kind of camber do you run in the rear?

If you're referring to the second set of pictures when the car is slammed I'd say the front and rear are almost 2.25" lower (maxed out setting on the coilovers). It literally rubbed when I sat in the car so driving it was out of the question. The fenders have to be rolled before I go back to that height. Hopefully they'll be rolled this weekend and then the car will be slammed and drive-able. The camber was maxed out, but I'm not sure what the number was because I'm waiting until the fenders are rolled and the car is slammed before I get an alignment.

The first set of pictures at the top is how I ride around right now. It's almost 2" lower in the front and probably 1.0" to 1.5" lower in the rear. It only rubs on really high speed turns and when I hit bumps in on the freeway. Here are some more pics I posted in a few other threads.

Let me know if I can answer any more questions

Nope, i want a street set and a track set. I don't think i'd get another set of RPF1's unless i got black ones. 5Zigen FN01RC in matte black 17x10's sounds like a winner

WhiteSnowflake8 -- what size tires do you have on there?

I have a question for you guys.
I'm getting a set of black enkeis rpf1 18x9.5 +45 with tires of 265/35/18.

I'm currently lowered on RSR springs, and it's concerning me if my tired will rub
