Hey guys what's up. Wanted to share some on experience on modding my chassis and suspenion so far building this evo 9..I learned a lot and hope I can help others. If needed
Here we go

So I bought 4 brand new complete bilstein b6 hd struts in all 4 corners.. the kyb stock suspension was just not cutting it





Then I put Tanabe gf210 springs on them which lowered the car about 1.5 inch all around..good ride








So after 10k miles of driving. I told my self I wanted better suspenion. More adjustability. More low
So I bought d2 coilovers




Car was amazing riding and handling with the bilstein. But nothing like the coilovers...
Next I bought the complete energy suspension master bushings kit..Holy crap what a pain in the a"'" it was installing these. Thank to a good friend with shop press made it much easier.













To be continued

So I started working on the rear diff..figured I start with rearrange the factory plates..and if this doesn't work do a tre maxx lock from tre



Wasn't so bad pulling out. Recommend that u have a friend or 2 around with this








Came across a good deal on a rtp tuned. Ultra racing rear strut tower bar to tighten things up

Good stuff. Whats the difference in feeling with the energy bushings? I'm still on all stock bushing so it's something I def want to do in the future.
