The Zero Lift Kit is basically that strip of rubber you see stickout out under the front bumper here:



And a added rubber strip on the spoiler here:


I've hit the piece under the bumper so many times that I wouldn't be surprised it'll rip off soon.

Anyways, I'm looking at the 2006 Evo right now, I'd prefer to get the MR, but I notice it does not come in black? So I configured a 2006 IX in black and added the "Sun, Sound, & Leather Package" and from what I can tell they come out to almost the same price and setup. I've read through the summary and can't find much of a difference. Any expert forum users out there care to school me on the subtle differences between the two?

Say a 2006 Evo MR
and
a 2006 Evo IX w/Sun, Sound, Leather package.

What are the differences?

Thanks!
You sound like a SSL boy to me as well, I love my IX MR, comming from a SSL 8. the diffrence is nite and day. but watch how much you spend. these cars cost alot to mod and maintain

Oh and by the way, if you have the money for both an MR or SSL, and your stuck on which one to buy, you should buy a Ralliart

what does that mean... he sounds like a sun sound and leather boy to you? are you saying he can't handle the mr? w/e... man, get what you want. don't listen to these people. that's insulting calling someone a boy.

all the evo's are great cars. you can't go wrong.

like someone said, an EB MR would be great. I think I am going to get a IX in EB with the SSL package, but Im going to ask them to change the leathers to Alacantaras (and maybe drop the price a little).

I hear that the new MIVEC is a lot harder to work on than the 4G63 (Evo VIII) motor. Do you think they will be coming out with some parts for the IX soon?

Do some searches. There's threads where people were making a lot of hp with a few mods on their IX's. ANd to think I almost bought an VIII....not that VIII's are bad.
