...well, its hard to tell, they are no longer made. they have not been made for a long time. but from what I hear and see, about $600 each!!!
this guy is selling all 4 WITH %50 tires for $800.
I am just waiting to see if the guy in front of me is going to get them or not. if not, then they are mine.
the only problem is I really wanted to get a 9.5 or 10" wheel. 9 is close enough and will work for now.
I sure hope I get them.
also, here is a picture of my RX-8 tires. 285's!

Robert, here is the info I got.
1. The rules say no passengers but the event master can approve it . Being Renee Angel is very understanding and newby friendly, I'd say no problem. But it's her decision.
2. he must be 12 years old and Both Parents need to sign the child waiver for the kid to be in a hot area or ride along.

Hope it works out! If you do get the green light can you post a pic of the miata with them you showed me. I bought some front camber adjusters to fix some really worn strut mounts today along w/ some much beefier swaybars. Also looks like I'll be giving myself a set of 4 275 Kuhmo v710's and rims for Xmas. Is it Nov. 9th yet?
Hey Casey- FYI I'm running 450lbs up front and 350 in the rear. Stock is 180-190 all around.

oh you can count on a ton of pictures.
Damon, that is going to be one fast setup. I told you that the other night. I dont think you realize how fast 275 V710's on all 4 corners with nice sway bars and those stiff springs is going to be..... you will have a smile from ear to ear.
the RX-8 had 285's on a four corners (9.5" wheel), stiff sways, bad *** shocks, lowering springs (they should have been nice stiff race springs, but all well). I gotta tell you, it was fun!

so imagine what it would feel like to not only add that 9" of rubber (like having a 5th wheel) but the extra rubber from not having all those grooves, AND on top of that, the most important, the super soft compund....... oh yeah..... its gonna be fun!

Holy *****! I called eibach today to confirm my spring rates and found some carzy stuff out! The guy who installed them put the 550lbs in the rear and 375lbs in the front. No wonder it has always felt kind of wierd over bumps! Here's the most important front perch cuts.

easy way to make some room!
yeah, you can tell the spring rates on eibach springs just by looking at the part number printed on the spring (if you can still read it). you can also tell how tall the spring is..... and the inside diameter.
put those stiffies int he front man.
EDIT... yup, I can see it rtight there in the picture, 550 pound spring in the rear...... NICE!
