Default what do people think is the best bike roof rack for 2008 Mazda RX-8

Hi all, I'm hoping to set up a 2008 Mazda RX-8 bike rack on the roof top to carry a mountain bike and road bike. Is there a car rack system out there that is best for the 2008 Mazda RX-8. I'd really like to pony up for the system that most people agree is best for this car. Thanks!

Default yakima q towers with q60 clips is best for 2008 mazda rx-8 car rack system

My pick to set you straight there little mama is the Yakima Q Towers roof rack system for starters. No matter what gear you plan to carry on your 2008 Mazda RX-8 car roof, you will need a multi-purpose roof rack base system. The Yakima Q Tower system includes four Q Towers, two pairs of Q60 Clips (these Q Clips are specific to your 08 Mazda RX-8) and two cross bars. You can then attach any of Yakima Racks roof mount bike carriers directly to the Q Tower front and rear cross bars. The 48 inch crossbars are the recommended length for the Mazda RX8 rooftop.html

If you prefer to load your bikes without taking the front wheels off (known as upright bike mounts) then I suggest going with the Yakima HighRoller, King Cobra or Raptor. The HighRoller is a premium upright mount bike rack that makes loading road bikes and mtn bikes absolutely effortless. King Cobra is middle of the pack and also loads bikes easily. The Raptor is an entry level model that gets the job done, holds the bike very firmly in place but isn't as easy to load and unload the bike from the bike rack.

If you prefer to take the front wheel off first (known as fork mount bike racks) then you'll want to check out the Yakima Sprocket Rocket and Viper models. The SprocketRocket is the premium fork mount rack that is ideal for road bikes and also front suspension and disc brake compatible mountain bikes, and it has a wide wheel tray to fit all sizes of bike tires including ultra fat downhill and freeride bike tires. The Viper is middle of the pack and also works with all road bikes and most mtn bikes including those with suspension forks and disc brakes but the tray is not as wide and won't work with very very fat freeride / downhill mountain bike tires.
