The Evo can autocross with SCCA now. It will not be eligible for roadracing until Jan. 2004. By the way, this is a hell of a precedent for the SCCA as 4-wheel drive and forced induction cars have not been permitted to roadrace at the National level in years past.

if you all get info on new sprint rates and lowering heights get some ACTUAL performance improvement data as well....skidpad, slalom.

 

are the stock springs on the evo progressive? anybody have any experience with H+R or Eibach type springs on their evo? im lookin for a lowered stance with a stock or pretty much stock ride. people keep flaming me to just ride with stock blah blah, but anybody got pictures of the drop and comments? thanks

 

so, what's the conclusion on a set of springs that will lower the front so the wheel gaps are even front and back... that is the only thing that annoys me about the look of the car...

i don't want to screw up the amazing handling character of this car, but would like a more agressive stance...!

 

WTZ -

Ralliart has a set of racing springs available. Vivid has them on their site. They lower the car 1.2". I am looking into getting these as well, as I bought the car mainly for track days. I believe they are linear rate and not progressive.

 

SPRINGS...they wond do anything to damage the handling right? I mean I see how well calibrated everything is and was gonna leave the suspention alone, but I would mind a minor 1" ish drop
as long as it doesnt affect my performance

I'm having a hard time finding spring rates for these, as well as the oe setup- anybody able to shed any light on numbers (f/r).

Thanks

i just ordered a set of the Ralliart springs... should be here in a few weeks...

 

I looked for a spring rate on those w/o sucess- do you happen to know what rates the ralliarts are?

no i do not, but i was assured that these are designed to be used with the stock struts, and that's basically all i needed to know...

the drop is going to be approx 1", which will suit my needs... when i get them, i will see if i can determine the rates for you.

 

That'll be great. Generally the up the rates up a little for most lowering springs (generally).

Big Sky

 

any idea of what the stock rates are f/r ?

 

how much were the ralliart springs...? where did you get them?
