I have the TEIN Basic Damper coilover system on my 03 EVO VIII and was wondering if anyone has a suggestion as far as the best specs for this application or the EVO VIII in general. I rotated my tires after changing brake pads, lines, and fluids and noticed uneven tire wear...the tires were wearing on the outside tread and were also 'chunking' a bit...now, the tires are not the best, KUMHO 712's on stock Enkei rims. It seems as though the inner portion of the tire isn't even touching the ground...I had the car aligned in February '04 after buying the tires and according to the read out, everything is close to factory spec...maybe the fact that the tires DO NOT have a reinforced sidewall and I drive like a bat out of hell everyday contributes to this, maybe the suspension should be set up differently?!?

ANY SUGGESTIONS?!?

 

WOW!! Thanks for all the help guys!!

 

BTW how do you like the basics? I was thinking of getting them?

 

To get the best out of your coilover systems, you will need to find a race shop that offers corner weighting and balancing for suspension kits, and also an alignment. Its about $250 here in Bay Area California.

 

They are a great coilover kit for the money...I don't need adjustable EVERYTHING, so the Basic Damper was the best for me...

I was thinking about running -1.5 camber all around and 0 toe...any suggestions?
