Thanks for the reply. I just looked at your website. A quick question: Can you do some sort of preliminary set up on these for a straight forward install and not need to adjust them too much? I am no suspension expert and there are not any shops where I live that would have a clue what to do with these coilovers?

If lots of adjustment is going to be needed - do the coilovers come with a fair amount of lit to figure it out? Sorry for being a noob here.

Yes the iggest problem is everyones Evo weighs differently..so the best way is to do a topmount exchange (like I did with Robert over at forced performance) I send you a suspension with the factory top mounts and then after you are done you send me yours back...

We could convince Robi to come to the boonies sometime so if you get them installed now, and we get enough people, he'll be able to fine tune it for you on-site at that point. Again it's the support that comes with these that makes it the REAL winner

That would be a great idea! I am not sure how many EVOs are in the rural midwest though. I live in Missouri and i bet there are less than 50 of these cars in the state.

If anyone is in this part of the country perhaps you could jump in on this thread?

I don't know anyone personally in your area, as you said haven't heard of many Evo's coming from there. Likely we'll have an event here as lots of these guys know people who have garages with Robi's requirements, if so that's several hours from you but better then driving to Cali ETA won't be till next year sometime I think. I'll keep an eye out for other events near there and let ya know.
