Evo's on coilovers
 
Ive been searching this site for a few days and i cant seem to find pictures of Evo with coilovers, especially slammed ones. Im looking to get an Evo very soon and i wanted to see how low i can make the car and it still be somewhat practical. If you have any pics post them up. Thanks{thumbup}

Where have you searched now?

Slammed = low rider, not an Evo. That will cause so many issues with handling.

Curt@MrLed Jan 28, 2009 06:38 AM

You dont want to go lower than 2 in front 1 3/4 in the rear.

Ive tried using the search option on this site, but the results are all over the place lol. I seen a few lowered on springs that look pretty nice, but i havent seen much on coilovers. As far as the slamming of the car goes, Im a Honda guy all of my previous cars were slammed:lol:. But a few people told me that slamming the Evo isnt a good idea, and im now starting to beleive it. But I still want to see pictures of lowered Evos.:mitsu:

Umm the 1st one isnt bad at all. I acutally like the way it sits.

Smike Jan 28, 2009 08:01 AM

its also a good read.

Here we go again, Mike and his endless suspension thread links. We need to make a thread and call it "SmikeEvo suspension thread links". And fill it with all the worthwhile threads that you have posted in or that have good info. Lol
But yes it is a very good read.

^ That's actually a really good idea. :lol:

The stickys for this forum could use a lot of cleaning up.

Hey i came up with a good idea WOO HOO. lol and here i was thinking nothing good would come out of me opening my mouth lol.
Yes they could, i have been reading through alot of them lately and there seems to be more "useless" (read un-helpful chit chat) than before.

no bad considering it not fully aligned yet.. The springs on it are 10k front 8k rear.. This is not a Race setup suspension just my DD... I have JIC FLT-A2 with custom spring rates for Track...
