undercarriage cover for evo IX
I was wondering if anyone makes any covers for the underside of an evo? I am thinking of getting into rallying and want to protect the underside of my car. Any ideas? Thanks.

Ralliart.
I can't remember where I saw them though.
It might be cheaper just to order a sheet of .090" 3003 alum. and have a fabricator make you some gaurds though.
You might also want to get rid of your A/V mods and order some suspension mods before you go rallying.

If you can remember where you saw them that would be awesome. The ralliart website doesnt have much information on it.
What suspension would you recommend?

Here it is:

Suspension stuff, I guess it depends on how serious you are. DMS and Ohlins both make very good stuff but, are not cheap. I think the most important thing is going to be bracing the chassis to take that kind of punishment.

I would love for someone to fabricate some lightweight aluminum undertray for the Evo, more for Aero purposes, than for protection. Kinda like the Lotus Elise.

Don't buy the Ralliart piece, it's $1K and sump guards aren't that hard to fabricate. Use 3/16"or 1/4" 6061 T6 aluminum, and make sure you make the mounting holes oversized in the skid plate and use washers on the bolts to attach it. That way if you bend the plate, you can still get it off/on.
If you're talking stage rally, a bash plate is about 1% of the prep work you need to do for that, and http://www.specialstage.com/ is a much better resource than here.
