my car...back from the shop
hey, thanks to friends at Blacktrax....i FINALLY have a car again
93 RX-7 that was originally hard to look at....after a month gettin a reman and new hoses and all that, few hours of polishing and some custom work, its done!
recently did a 99-spec taillight conversion, HKS Carbon-Ti exhaust, lowered, some gauges, and a repainted dash!

Looks pretty low to me. Not to be bothersome or anything, but it looks like your front end is out of alignment or has a caster problem. It might just be the pics though. Either way, looking good!

Looking good but you need to buy the bumper guard from rotary extreme to help you from melting your bumper. Get it Im ordering one cause my bumper just melted. Looks good.

Now all it needs is some hydrollics, a chrome grill, wire spokes and you're set !!!!
J/k'ing, that looks real nice but you have to raise it some man . . . that's just crazy low.

Screw the haters. It looks great that low. Once you fix your camber, it will raise up slightly. The factory camber adjustment can easily get you back into everyday driver spec.
We can see your other cars, so you're no amatuer to driving a lowered car.....so why would you want to go back to stock?!

Looks great but I have a few comments:
1. From personal experience, that's too low. What did you use to get it that low?
2. Your camber is ridiculously high. You need an alignment badly.

luckily i havent had the car dropped that long, its only been that way since friday
but ya, i think i have to raise it cuz its rubbing on the drivers fender which ISNT good and its rubbing underneath. PLUS i can feel every crack in the ground almost
as for the radar detector...yea i know i have to move it but its worked so far, so i just havent done it. already caught a bike cop on the sidewalk
