Damn this is sick! Curious about your rear camber? I'm at -1.5 in the rear with my Ohlins and easily had the range to go up to -2.0? Maybe I missed the part but what was limiting your camber?

Edit: Nevermind seen the pic where you don't have much clearance with the 2.5in springs. So your going down to 6in springs so it has more clearance. Do you think thats gonna effect your droop travel much since the Ohlins don't have much to begin with?

I haven't adjusted the camber in the rear yet...Just left it for the time being. I want to tweak the trailing link first before changing camber/toe.

I'm by no means a suspension expert, but I don't think running shorter springs limits my droop travel. I think the spring rate limits your droop travel. I have no spring pre-load, so I'm not consuming droop travel either. It limits bump travel, but I don't think I use 70% of the coil bind length in bump anyway.

These springs are for fuddy-duddy driving. For track springs, I'll need a re-valve. Then it'll be ~750/900# springs.

So I installed the new front 6" swift springs from GTWorx. Thank you Myles and the new lady who works there I'm now able to clear the spring perch with ease. I added some more camber up front (~-3.6 degrees) which means I need some wider fenders. I'd like to run 3 degrees all the time with the ability to go to 2.5. due to the spring height...I had to lower the car some more, while still giving me a thread or two for corner balance adjustment.

I washed the car too rear suspension is next! I should be measuring this sunday and ordering bits on Monday.

Enjoy.

I don't see why it is necessary to run 295 width tires on an EVO. In Japan the cyber evo only runs 265 width tires, to handle better on a road course doesn't always have to run wider tires.
