I should do that I guess.

I'm way too OCD and like to plan out my modifications months in advance, but I guess it couldn't hurt to talk to the man and get some pricing info etc.

Absolutely worth a shot

I'm right there with you on this research **cough**obsessiveness in regards to researching things well in advance. I was looking through that rear diff sticky last week and saw a comment I posted back in 2010. 3 years later I finally pulled the trigger.

This place is a wealth of knowledge so all you need is some patience and a brain(at least 1/2 of it) and you can learn a lot from others like yourself who have already gone through it.

I tend to find suspension tuning and/or methodologies a little tricky though as its not as simple as slapping on random parts. It all needs to work together as a system. What may work great on a car with slicks could be terrible rocking street tires. Also, driver preference as well as the type of racing you are into really comes into play here.

So while it is nice to talk with folks on here and understand what they are doing it may not be best for you.

Someone like Robert who is very knowledgeable with the CT9A chassis should be able to provide insight and offer recommendations that will fit your goals based on what is most important to you.

.

Im like that as well. I research something and pull the trigger on a new part a year later. It has taken me almost as long as Ive been on these forums to decide on my current suspension setup, which in all fairness is a pretty mild setup. I'm just really indecisive.

I tried figuring out what to replace on my high mileage evo also, I just ended up combing through different build threads to see what others used in their builds with similar goals to mine, here is what I ended up ordering

KCA388 - WHITELINE Front Roll center/bump steer - correction kit

KCA395 - WHITELINE Rear Bump steer - correction bushing

W0594 - WHITELINE Rear Trailing arm - lower front bushing

W0593 - WHITELINE Front Control arm - lower inner front bushing

PEP-SUS-400 - PERRING Perrin PSRS Offset Bushings Mitsubishi EVO 8/9/X 2003-2013


Is there anything else worth getting that I haven't addressed with these parts?

The 388 goes in the upper lateral link

Does ES make these same bushings? I know they make the front control arm one.
