Lowering the RX8


zwp-lowered-02After adding the rims and sticky tires, it became obvious that the suspension was not up to the challenge.  Like always, I took alot of time to determine which lowering setup to use.  Fortunately, this worked for me.  I was able to get a set of Tein Basic coilovers for a great price from a fellow RX8 guy I met in our local meets.  Below are some pictures to check out.  While it does fit, it does on ocation rub in hard turns or large bumps.  This only happens when I have more people in the car, but it does happen.  I really need to roll the rear inner fender wells to ensure complete clearance.  Sounds like a project for a next year.
