It's taken you this long to come to that conclusion?

Re: My Evo
 

Sucks dizzle :( Time for springs and struts, they'll last forever.

Re: My Evo
 

Didn't want to hurt any of these $$$ evo boys feelings. :banana: :beach: :draught2: :bullrider:

Re: My Evo
 

Yep, Swift Spec-R springs on the stock struts, I think.
Find one thing that is $$$ about my car. I won't lie, my Evo is the cheapest and biggest pile of junk around here.

Re: My Evo
 

I haven't seen it in person but I remember seeing some $$$ rims for it :) Looks good in the pics I have seen

Re: My Evo
 

You can have the coilovers rebuilt also. I was going to have mine done since I could not get the inverted front shocks to ajust. I gave up when cusco wanted 400.00 just to do one. So I took mine apart and got the to work like they should. But hell the ksports should not be to bad priced to be fixed

Re: My Evo
 

I thought the ksports weren't rebuildable? Think you'll notice much difference in autox with the softer springs next year?

Re: My Evo
 

Enkei RPF1s aren't expensive, if you want expensive wheels go look at Volk, Advan, Work or SSR. :)
I don't know why they wouldn't be. - http://www.ksportusa.com/asp/services.asp
The car will be softer but can't say I'd notice too much in the handling department. Going from a stiff spring with a shitty shock (K-Sports are terrible, dampening is not linear at all, only stiffens up at the end of the stroke) to a slightly softer spring with a good shock (stock Evo struts are fairly decent). We'll see how the car is, if it's too tail happy I'll add a bigger front sway bar.

Re: My Evo
 

The car is going to handle better with the Swift Spec-R's than it did with the Ksports.

Re: My Evo
 

K-Sport coils are a long way from baller. If these were >$2k coils then you could feel free to gloat. Even then I've been told that they need to be rebuilt every 20-30k miles depending on how you drive.

Edit: Reading further, I see that Matt D. has a good plan.

Re: My Evo
 

LMAO, see what i mean.

I guess my point is that it isn't a sweet $1200 home built DSM.

I'm just ribbing, but some of us don't really have $$$ to get a newer car or care to get a newer car that will get modded.

Mlomker I don't need 2K coilovers, I will wait for a partout, like on link JIC coilovers with 2k miles $800. I think JIC is good right? :lol:

Either way matt D, looks like you are at a point to either rebuild this thing with some awesome parts, hopefully you have some stock stuff or dirt cheap so you can find some thing balla aka meant to handle for the racing you do.

I just wanna say I love u guys, lol (no homo)

Re: My Evo
 

Not quite on par with mlomker's parts buying but it's a start. The GSC S2 cams arrived today. I ordered the GSC beehive springs as well but they shipped a couple days later.

Re: My Evo

Re: My Evo
 

Will be nice to see what your car puts down with some real cams now!

Re: My Evo
 

Looking forward to seeing some numbers

Re: My Evo
 

And exhaust valves that don't leak like a sieve.

Re: My Evo
 

GSC beehive valve springs arrived on Tuesday. Picked up Swift Spec-R suspension springs and ARP head studs from MAP yesterday. Got the ball rolling on a bunch of stuff with them as well.

MAP Stage 3 head
MAP Rev2 intake manifold
MAP ported exhaust manifold
