Looks good, I think you need a drop though.

Yeah, it looks good. I always liked the yellow color. I think it would look better with the drop but that is your call. The yellow MR Bilstein stock suspension would stand out on your car even more

yeah thats true, the yellow MR Bilstein shocks would stand out as well, but I've heard stories of people lowering their evo's with just springs and losing their handling.

Yeah its my call, but I figured that the EVO's handling is already so fine tuned from the factory i dont need to screw it up. In addition I need the ground clearance since I live in NYC, and need to make it through steep dips etc.

Thanks for the compliment!

I got a good deal on the package as well. Paid $1100 with tires and the wheel has absolutely no bends, but a few chips from normal wear and tear which are not really noticible at all unless you and kneeling and have your eyes at least 2-3 ft from the wheel. But I plan on going to pep boys to look for some charcoal grey touch up paint to make it look brand spanking new again...

Thats it I'm done with wheels for now unless I hit the lottery.

In the meantime my enkei's will sit inside the house with new ADVAN's tires until I decide to sell/put snows on them.

i will.....are you going to the EVO-NY BBQ today? I'll be there this afternoon since the BBQ meeting location is like 5 minutes away from my house. I heard like 20+ EVO's are supposed to attend. I figured I'll crash it.

looks good, suspension tuning is def an art... i've seen some lowered evo's here in so cal, and most seem to have lost the factory balanced feel. if you upgraded to the MR susp then that would be different. but simply putting springs does seem to mess w/ the good handling a stock evo has.
