i still have yet to see your car in salisbury. those pics were on 50? raise the rear a little and your good. you its too low back there, i will have bad tire wear on the inside of the tires due to too much negative camber

I agree, the rear is way too low.

Hey, you said new Tein Flex, so did you get the new Tein Flex Mono with the mono tube shocks or the old twin tube design?

I'm looking at the Flex mono so just wondering.

Looks like you made the back level with the front, You should drop them all the way, it looks like you have more weight in the rear then in the front, also the front should be lower than front, if you decided to drop them all the way front and back you will see what i mean when you look at the car from the side, by looking at the side skirt, Also the car will handle like you would not believe.

I also beleve the evo is designed to be lower in the front than in the back, to optimize handling, When you look at the car over head, the front of the car looks wider than the back, and maybe be wider in the front but I am not 100% positive.

Also when you accelerate the front will be up in the air if the front is not lower than the rear. And will be bad for handling.

The back end is way too low. I'm sure you are loosing precious suspension travel.
