Cool! Hopefully we will have this system out for the EVO in the future. Currently Praxis only produces it for the WRX's.

I believe the suspension that a WRC rally car uses costs somewhere in the neighborhood of $10,000. So good luck with all that. Can i get a loan?

I have DMS 50 street length struts on my WRX. These struts are awesome competition struts. They are not really meant for daily driving and require frequent maintenance (compared to regular throw away performance struts like Konis)

When they work properly, OMG

When they need maintenance, OMG where is my kidney translplant?

I have heard about rally driver wrapping their rally cars around trees and then taking the DMS struts off and re-using them because they were not damaged in the impact.

These are very tough struts If your EVO is more of a track duty type car and NOT a daily driver, then these are the best strut for the money ($2600 for the set) and if you take care of them properly, will out last the car.

I cannot emphise enough that DMS struts are not ment to be a daily driver. I drive on them daily, which is OK, but I do wish I had the rally length struts, because I have heard that for what ever reason, they seem to require less maintenance than my street length struts.

if you want the best deal, contact Mark at Lachute subaru. http://www.lachutesubaru.com or http://www.dmsnorthamerica.com
