Just installed a SiriusXM radio i got on sale from the local Walmart. Just gotta figure out the best place to install the antenna to get the optimal signal.
Thanks for posting this. I've wondered what the MS3 rims look on the <'10. I was debating on picking up a set of MS3 or RX8 rims but wasn't sure. They are both kinda heavy. The question next is, which looks better?
rims/tires shocks/springs
I hate to say it, but MS3 FTW. The RX8s just look too much like the stock wheels, especially from a distance. That and who wants the expense of 18" rubber at replacement time? I say that as someone who puts 45K + on his cars every year however, just food for thought.... And to the poster of the pic on MS3 wheels, I'm diggin that patio awning you have on the back of yours! You could tailgate with twenty friends under that thing LOL
but but but... the RX8 rims weight less (~2-3lbs) and easier to clean!I hate to say it, but MS3 FTW. The RX8s just look too much like the stock wheels, especially from a distance.

Did you reuse (move) the stock bushing collars or remove them? The Prothane bushing brackets are substantially wider than the OEM MS3 brackets. I've been sitting on my setup (MS3 RSB, Moog links, Prothane bushings) for well over a year but too lazy to do it. I need an excuse to break something.Threw on my old MS3 RSB that I removed from my old 2006. No mods needed, bolts right up. For those that don't know it's a first gen MS3 RSB with stock MS3 end links and Prothane bushings and brackets.

It’s matter of taste; old skool vs. new skool look. In case you can’t tell from my sig, I prefer old skool but the MS3 do look nice..

I put mine on the roof between the base of the regular antenna and the rear hatch. More for the convienence of running the wiring but the signal is pretty good too!
