Suspension help?
Suspension help?
I have Tein S. tech springs and perrin swaybar and mounts with whiteline endlinks and want to install some aftermarket adjustable struts, which ones are good and where can i get them? I also run in the local SCCA events and would like to know what might be a decent street track alignment with dedicated track semi slicks. any advice is greatly appreciated. thank you

Few things...
1. The only aftermarket struts that are adjustable for the Evo are the Ohlins fixed perch struts ($$$). Your options are Bilstein MR's (used) or Bilstein HD's (new).
2. Get a better set of springs. With sticky street or r-comps there is no way those soft springs will handle. And those limit your strut travel. I would recommend there the Swift Spec R's, GTWorx, or RobiSpecs.
3. You only have 2 camber choices up front (unless you have camber plates). Using the -2 bolt selection you should see between -1.5 and -2.5 up front. In the rear, I run -1.4. Zero toe and zero thrust angle.
