Agreed. 100%.


My EVO has always been "lowered" on one set up or another over the years.

There is a difference between a functional "lowered" suspension and Full Dip**** though.

Evo Blend in??? Umm No.

Attention. I get enough attention in the damn thing already. From cops and every lil boy racer in the world you don't see CT9A Evos here. It is quite annoying

This proves my point as to why people do this BS, it's for the attention of others while the car sits like a limp turd in some Applebees parking lot. Maybe its low self esteem or LD Syndrome not sure.

Funny part is most are laughing at you.

Never bought or modded a car in my life for approval or attention of others. In fact I find it creepy and annoying

Honestly, if all your doing is modding a car just to get peoples attention that's pretty pathetic. If that's all your looking for, go buy a 95 Honda Accord, vinyl wrap it bright pink with a picture of a giant ball bag on each side... that will get plenty of attention...

this this this this, matter fact I'm just the opposite, I ended up switching to a black evo instead of red and removing the wing just so I'd attract less attention! Lol if you buy a certain car/mod it just for the hope in turning heads you've got some serious self confidence issues. It's very pathetic.

The purpose is not to get attn. But it does. I've said it a million times. I build all mt cars for me. Nobody else. That's just an added bonus.

There's a lot of comedians in this thread. Yes it's a forum and everyone is entitle to an opinion. But if you don't like what you see. Shut up and move on lol. It's a stanced thread not aggressive. It's not your money nor your car, people will do as they pleased. More pictures and less girly gossip haha.

People need to realize this is a performance car. THE MAJORITY WILL NOT LIKE YOU DOING THIS. I think it's ridiculous but that's me. You pretty much throw out everything an evo is good at when doing this, there no use for your AWD, for your active differentials, for the power, turbo, handling, ANYTHING. It makes people wonder why you didn't just do it to a base lancer instead? When there's a cult following to a vehicle, certain things won't be accepted. Imagine how the skyline world would react to people "laying frame" to one of those gems? At the end of the day people cane do what they want, just have thick skin lol.

This same garbage gets spewed over and over. Who cares what someone else does with their car. It's not ruining your life in any way, just live and let live.

If you really think of yourself as a car person, you should be ashamed that you're telling someone else that their work is crap just because you don't agree with it.

No, I would never have my car that low. It's terribly impractical, an uncomfortable ride, and handles like crap. That doesn't mean that I'm going to poo on someone else's enjoyment simply because I disagree with them. I can appreciate their style and how THEY represent it very well by having a clean car or having a car THEY enjoy driving. If someone wants to modify their car so that others get attention then so be it. I clean my car so that others will compliment how clean it is; that's the same thing

100% agree. I love wide wheels on Evo's and even I can admit that I have a slight stretch on my wheels but the rim poking over the bead like that is just ugly imo.
