Even we are only Volk Racing "Rays" importer, Ralliart wheels are not the one we import. You can contact www.bozzperformance.com They can help you import the wheel.

thank you

We have done two testing. stock rate just lowered and stiffer.. Stiffer spring worked out for us .. as far as driving and performance.. we still need to get spring rate on this spring tho. For pic. please see other post "Red Evo" --should be in the forum..

We do all the test fitting in Mackin. However, springs were made in Japan.

Espelir is well known suspension company in Japan..

The drop measurement on this spring is 22mm all the way around.

** for Gramlight exhaust
This is full stainless steel cat-back system. mandrel bent piping 70mm. The retail price is still TBA. We should be getting some more info on when and how much this system will be retail for.
Dyno result will be available soon.

Thank you
We are glad that you liked the system and springs.

Today I spoke to Steve Lim from Mackin about Espiler. From the discussion, it appears these may be the best springs to go with - purely an assumption at this point; however, I'm waiting to see how that one set (RedEvo) does at the next autocross.

Steve said these could be here in the next few weeks to maybe two months or more. Just dont think that, I, or my customers can wait that long.

22mm...? that's not even an inch...

and an even drop is going to accentuate the EVO uneven fender...

Good call diesel they are quoting the wrong spring drop rates. The GT spring drops are 35 ~ 40 front and 25 ~ 30 rear. Just looking at their "test" car you can see it is lower than a inch. Anyway Espelir is far from a highend drop spring. Better options for springs only are available for the EVO.

What other choices do we have - where the springs rates are higher or at least the same as stock?
