Will coilover applications for the VIII work for the IX?

Just like the title says... please no guessing. Sure answers only.


Only post if youve seen one or better yet you own one. I need to know for sure so I can order a set. Which band I dunno I need to do more research, leaning towards HKS or Cusco

Coilover is adjustable so sure it will works.
And they all runing the same Bilstein shocks only the spring is lower(about 5mm I think) on Evo IX.

i would assume they are the same...but remember there were little tweaks done on coilovers from the EVO 7 to the 8.....

if i were you i'd wait the month or two before the companies start advirtising them for the 9 cause at least that way you know they are specifically for your car.......

Its not the height or adjustability I'm worried about. Its more regarding the mounting screws and dimensions of the coilover itself if its still a perfect match for the IX.

Don't mean to hijack but does this mean that springs meant for EVO VIII can fit the IX as well? Because I'm looking to get Espelir GT springs as my first suspension mod when I get my IX

All suspension and brakes parts are the same. The only things thats diff are the front bumper, engine, and interior stuff.
