I bet this thing is a blast! I have basically the same car but in a NA chassis and it's a riot and I can't imagine shaving off ~700lbs. GLWS!

It's a fun thing, that's for sure! I just want to get into w2w with my TT miata. Which involves caging it, K-swapping to be competitive etc - The Exocet has more or less sat this season other than some random upgrades. The budget says I can't keep it and do that so.... gotta go!

Looks well sorted and I can attest that they're a hoot to drive and incredibly easy on consumables.  Sold mine almost two years ago and I do miss it.  GLWTS.

Did you have any fitment issues with the V8R arms and the Fox coilovers? I'm planning on this for mine.

In reply to Nick_R_23 :

Hey there, I had to do some minor grinding on the rear, but it was VERY minor. Besides that fitment on mine was no problem - I have rear upper Paco arms BTW, front bottom/top and rear bottom are v8r

Thanks for the reply! I'm surprised to hear it was the rear that rubbed, I would've guessed it was the front. Did you end up grinding on the arms themselves or the shock eye?

In reply to Nick_R_23 :

No problemo - yeah the rear just needed a bit of grinding on the shock eye that mounts into the lower arm, just a bit of an angle on one of the edges if I remember correctly - like 10 seconds of grinding and refitting.

You can see the tiny notch I had to make, but of course your milage may vary - just my experience with them.

Oh wow, that's it? Everyone's making it sound like the entire shock body hits. Definitely appreciate the info and pictures! Time to get a set of these on the way.

My car does sit "high" relative to most exocets because I have 13" wheels I run on it, I'll have to go and look closer to make sure I'm not missing something, but I don't see any witness marks that look out of place. Do you know where most people say their shocks hit the arms?

Not really, just that there are several claims out there that the Fox shocks interfere with V8R arms at the bottom, but other than that it's been pretty sparse on finding any details of what actually interferes or to what extent. Even FM themselves weren't entirely sure when I called and inquired about it. 
 

I plan on running a taller ride height than most as well.
