Send me a PM with an address so i can get a good shipping quote for you to Europe.

The whiteline rear trailing arm bushings are a nice piece as well. You've got the most of the big ones covered with the bumpsteer and the perrin kits.

With stock springs, you would be beating the competition.. Also, your profile says that you have an EvoX, but the pic is an EvoIX..

I really hate it when this happens but I was so eager that the purchase has been done through MAPerformance already whilst I was waiting for a reply... I really appreciate your advice and will give feedback once the latest items are installed.

Best regards,
BRONCO

Seriously, that's pretty disappointing. Please don't ask me for advice again.

Hi mate,

I am really sorry and it was just that I was in a rush... it's only fair I purchase from you as I had intended to but I couldnt get onto your web page and didnt get a reply ( I know i didnt allow fair time for one). So I have explained to MAP that I am commited to another purchase. Will fire a PM your way and hope we can wrap this up quick as I have sold my tein springs so need to swop them over soon

Thanks,
BRONCO

The Evo pictured looks slightly more like an Evo IX than an Evo X.

As already mentioned by DallasJ, don't forget about the front swaybar. You can doctor the stock bar to make it slightly stiffer, or go for a (preferably adjustable) aftermarket front bar. Also don't forget about your swaybar links. I hadn't paid attention to mine, and after 50K miles, they were totally shot and replaced with WL endlinks.

Do they allow you to drill into the stock piece? There's a how-to on this site on how to drill out an extra set of holes on the FSB, giving you a small amount of adjustability.

I already cut bump stops for my Tein springs will this cause any problems when I have the swift spec r's installed?

That'll be $2, please.

Cut bumpstops shouldn't affect the Swifts. Some people have cut their bumpstops with them, some haven't. Seem to work fine either way.
