In regards to seats, the JDM ones are nice. I'd trade my US seats in for JDM ones anyday.

More to the topic: I remember when the evo 4 first came out. At the time I really loved the Evo III (still do) and I thought that mitsu ruined the design with the 4. I did quickly get used to it though. They look really nice with some nice wheels and a drop.

The evo 4 was the last one prior to going to the slightly wider body style though. I wonder if that would make any difference in track handling.
Exactly, this is why the Evo 4 would be slower on the track than a 9, at least stock. It only has 205 series tires, on 15x6 inch wheels... and people think a 4 would "own" a 9 because it's a couple hundred pounds lighter.. please.

This guy's car had 18" advan Model 7s and the ride was really nice. No suspension mods though.

Next time he's taking me out with a 550hp Skyline GTR-34 up the mountains I will be sure to post pics for you guys

maybe an evo VI, it would be close and come down to the driver. not the evo IV. especially against a JDM IX.
