Explain how there is "no room for rebound", and why someone would be wrong in suggesting a coilover with a short stroke?

I say, don't waste your money on any of the chinese built crap that most evo coilovers come from...Talk to Robi...PM him, call him, just talk to him. Talk to someone who knows. His clubsports ride GREAT on the streets, and will kick all kinds of *** on the track. Even if your not doing a lot of track days and just want a "sportier" feel, Go with the clubsports. If you get the streets, a yr later you'll be swapping to the clubsoprts.

spoke to Andrew - at GTW - and a few other vendors with experience - seems that PSS 9's are more than adequate for the average driver and can be rebuilt here too. now in stock. ordered. await...

Hey guys I just got my stance coilovers and I really like them. I have them set at 9/15 front and 7/15 rear. I lowered the car 2.25 inches and it still rides better than stock!

Ohlins

Hey if your looking for a SET of GTWORX SPRINGS i have a set i am selling... I bought them about 9 months ago been on the car about 6-7 months... but over the winter put OHLINS on with help from Andrew at GTWORX...

if your interested in the SPRINGS let me know i have the set sitting next to me going to put up up on here somewhere for sale... PM me if your interested.

but the OHLINS were some money (PLUS some one who KNOWS how to install them in SE MICH... VR Performance) but the setup with the GTWORX springs were almost as good. I am doing more and more track this year so i just went ***** out upgrade over the winter.

until the upgrade the GTWORX Springs were perfect

OH and Andrew is a HUGE HELP... he is working hard for me on my APS exhaust that is being eaten away by the drive shaft see here --> https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...ht=drive+shaft

The PSS9's are a full coilover kit that includes springs, so all you need are the coilovers. These would be my choice for you.

Thanks! I'll have an update for you monday btw.

Definitely jump on his used GTWorx springs people.....we're still waiting on our next shipment so here's a chance to get em faster. If you're looking for a quick upgrade for not a lot of cash, that's it right there.

GT WORX SPRINGS and CUSCO Chamber Plates

Hey PM me if you want the Spring and I will throw in the Cusco Chamber Plates...

for 250 for them both..

I just cleaned up the Springs and the Plates and have them ready to be shipped out... to whoever... (you pay for shipping unless you live in MI and want to meet for pick up)

only thing left are a nice set of 18" Rims and Tires (SSR GT7-H LT with slightly used Yok's. Advan S4's have about 3K of miles on them, no road rash... some road nick's like any used rims out there. Selling the set for 1500.00)

Tires were 226.00 each new
Wheels were 496.00 each new
2888.00



Tires are 255/35ZR18





they are 18x8.5 i think +34 offset if i remember correctly... looks great with the lowered GTWORX Springs...

Reason for letting them go... Cheaper tires... I needed to get back to 17" for the sets of tires i have track, street, winter... so i have all 17" for those and these... just got to expensive... to have the odd ball set...
