thanks for all the compliments guys!

MS00- those are 18s.

futurerexowner- you should contact Rishie (ARD T2 on the forum) regarding the price. He'll hook you up w/ a good deal.

Everyone else who think my car is too high- if you look at my car in person, it really isn't too high. The front is actually perfect and the back could be an inch lower. However, I'm putting 2 subs back there pretty soon with a bodykit following that. Keep in mind that the car would even get lower with people inside it and would look lower with it's actually moving. I also live in San Francisco and sometimes the roads can be pretty rough. My last car was lowered and regreted it big time. I mean I could never relax when driving in the city with my last car. With all these factors in mind, I've decided to not do anything to my suspension, at least not until the stock shocks die on me. Yes I know the ideal rx7 with 18s should be lowered, but that is just the IDEAL thing to do in order to look good and do good cornering aggressively...giving up comfort which is more important for me. I can't afford anymore rattles in my FD when I go over bumps and uneven railroad tracks. BTW, whose FD has no rattles???
