From the standard 1s i have had defo looks lower at back....eibach lowering springs are black...like standard so only way to tell is to look for white eibach logo on spring itself. Get a side on photo.

Yeh possibly. Thought you had to buy springs as a set?  Not as just tears?

Can a 245 tyre fit into the rx8 rim? I'm going to buy 4 brand new tyres. Not going semi slicks though as I use it in the wet.

Don't think it's lowered. Maybe just the angle  of the photo. Getting three fingers in the wheel to arch gap is too much
