New Rotary Lover

[9krpmrx8]

What's up guys, my ride is not Stance Works worthy yet but coil overs and new wheels are in the works to get me proper. Right now I am dropped on Tein S -Techs running KYB shocks. She is a 2004 mazda RX-8 Touring that I have had the pleasure of owning for almost over 6 years and 120,000 miles She has many mods but I like to keep her clean and simple. Glad to be here, you guys have some sick rides.

This shot is before the Volks, running stock wheels and 25mm Eibach spacers.

I actually really like these things laid out.. car looks immaculate for having 120k on it. Welcome to StanceWorks.

welcome, clean rx8...depending on how much of a rotary lover you are, you will **** me.

Thanks for the comments guys, I am actually getting Bilstein coilovers and new wheels soon. What are your thoughts on 18x9.5 +40's? I know perfect on a RX-8 to still be able to drive hard is 18x9 +27-30 but the wheels I am looking at have never been done on a 8 before that i know of and the only sizes available are 18 x 8.5 +35 and 18 x 9.5 +40.

[JawDropper]

Def needs more low but looks like your off to a good start. If you do the 18x9.5 +40 you def wont be in the "wow" crowd of RX8s as there are some out there that are setting the bar very high.

[9krpmrx8]

Yeah my buddy is running 18x10 +18's. Crazy. I am going to see how I like the 18x9.5 +40's and then get spacers for the street. But I track my car occasionally so I don't want to go too crazy until I get a set of track wheels.

Bump for new wheels Just ordered a turbo kit as well

New wheels look sick!

Like the new rims, seen them on E46s before but never anything else.

Thanks man, I love them much better than the Volks actually.

Thanks, I had to have them drilled to 5 x 114.3. They are 18 x 9.5 +40. I could have gone with a +20 but i was too scared :lol: I have 10mm spacers ready to go on when I install the coil overs. It will sit pretty legit once that happens. I like the option of being able to remove the spacers for track duty.

[9krpmrx8]

Updated pics with 10mm less offset thanks to some 10mm Project Kics and Ichiba spacers Turbo kit is coming together nicely just waiting on a few things.

Took some quick pics before I have a chance to lower it more.

[Evil Panda]

New wheels are wayyyyy better. Lets see it lowered though.

[9krpmrx8]

Thanks. I do miss my Volks though, the guy I sold them too wrecked the car a week after he put them on so they are gone now

I will do coil overs after the turbo is done, but the Teins S Tech springs and KYB shocks are new so they will have to suffice until then.
