So what is the difference between the front and rear stock suspension on these cars? My car is on the lift getting my rx8 wheels installed, and it looks like the unloaded gap between the top of the tire to the top of the wheel arch is smaller in the back. Is that normal? Is it another thing that needs replacement?
Yeah...my little button on teh trunk no worky.
I can open it no problem from the buttons on the door & the Adv Key.
Meh...i'll ask Mazda how much $, but its really not worth the trouble if its expensive.
my tape measure is somewhere in a warehouse on the east coast since the movers are taking their sweet time, but I think the front arches might go slightly larger than the rear arches. I might be crazy, though. Also my car is parked in the garage now and I dont wanna pull it out (I'm still giddy about having a garage now!)hmm how much difference was there, wonder if youve got bad shocks. the wheels look great on the car though and i dont see any issues from the pictures you just posted, check the shocks and see if there wet on the bottom?? you may also hear some clunking in the rear end if this is the case.
otherwise it may have been just how the car was lifted, really cant give ya a 100% answer without a picture of what it looked like on the lift

Washed my car today and did a little bit of detailing to the interior. I made some adjustments to my map. I leaned out the afr's to 12.1 at wot. Found out I have been running too rich with meth. So this is a meth only map. Car feels a whole lot better I must say.
