Mine is a White 2005 3S 5 speed sedan. So you say you are putting 18's off the RX8 on your car? You sure that will fit? Your current tires seem pretty snug in there and the 18's are on a 225 tire. I work at a car wash and was checking the tires out on an RX8 and they are pretty big. I wanna know how it works out for you though so keep me posted.

I'll make a post in this area of the forum titled "RX8 Wheels with Sportline Drop". I'm sure everyone will be curious to see how it works out.

Any idea on how soon the RX8 wheels are going on?

Sooner than later. The local tire shop is having a "spring sale" so I may get them on next week. I need to get the camber kit as well so not to wear out the new tread prematurly.

You're going to be waiting longer than a week, then. As far as I know, there's currently no camber kit available. Eibach isn't shipping till the end of month and Mazdaspeed is clueless, last I heard.

If you have other info, please share!

What about the boys over at SPC Performance? Or do they OEM for Eibach?

I'm not sure but I think I called them and they didn't even have anything in the works. I called somebody, I just don't remember who it was!

Poke around. If you find something, let us all know. There are enough of us with dropped cars that you could probably set up a group buy.

I've chatted with Jeff Hargash at SPC Performance and last we talked they were looking at late Q2 2005 for the Mazda 3 front and rear kit. So what is that...late April? Anyhoo...I sent him another email and asked for an update and he is out of the office until next week. He is good about getting back to me so I'll have to official work next week.

I'm just waiting for someone to release something adjustable.

Auto Exe coilovers would be nice.

Late June, actually. I'm going to call Eibach when I get back from vacation on April 5th. Hopefully there will be some word.

 

[rbmazda3]

Well...I got the rear kit from rennenmotors on ebay. I sent them an email and they ensured me that they had the Eibach alignment kit in stock. They have my $$ so lets hope I get the parts next week. I'll let you know.

I'm really excited to get my RX8 Wheels on there and some new rubber. It's gonna look hot! (laugh)

Sorry, stay away from Proxes 4s? they suck... after 10k miles they will sound and feel like big ole mudder tires... I would suggest the T1S's for a few more bucks if you want to stick with a brand everybody knows. I currenly have a cheap set of hankooks on my 18's and love 'em.

I'll take any advice I can get. What's another good inexpensive performance tire?

So I got my sportline kit installed on wednesday and LOVE IT! it looks amazing. I dont know how to attach thumbnails though, if someone will tell me, I will get before and after pics up. Also, rbmazda3, any word on that alignment kit yet? I have heard some interesting things now about that kit even being available or not, so let me know! thanks

 

[goldwing2000]

Just attach the pictures and they will thumbnail automatically.

Click the buttom at the bottom that says "Manage Attachments".
