What would you do with $15K
And evidently the seals or something are bad in them, and the plunger hits, and it eventually will fail. They're re-issuing new ones or something, so there's a fix, but, yeah.
I don't have a X, and if I did, it wouldn't make a difference. I bought my Evo to drive. The stance or any other appearance-driven ricer bullsh1t is of no consideration, whatsoever. Others, of course, are free to do with their cars as they wish.
And springs, if done right, can enhance the appearance. There's a difference between Swifts and performance 265s, and like some slammed out ***** of a car and all-season 285s, just for appearance. Like any other car that attracts young males, though, the X is bound to gets its fair share of ricer *******s.

I agree, but with the stock suspension set up, it rolls like a fat girl in jello. Add larger wheels/tires for more grip, to ya know, DRIVE the car, and the stance of the vehicle looks even more hilarious. Even if you DON'T care what it looks like, upgrading to larger rims and tires makes the damn thing look down right stupid without a drop.

Well, you're right of course; for most people, wider rims and tires do nothing but add rotational mass and slow the car on the street. It's a missed point by most people.
However, there comes a point when the 245s show their limit. Do most people reach that? Of course not. Do some? Sure. Do the number of people buying huge tires and rims equal the amount of people approaching said limit of 245s?
Negatory.
Now then, here's a picture of me and a friend.

We approach the limit when running drugs. Cause we be hard core. (Note: I'm the white guy above)
I have also learned that nearly every thread on EvoM should receive a Fast and Furious graphic.

I have 18X9.5 + 22 with RE11 in 265 35 on stock suspension and the setup does look good.

but, since we each have our own opinion on the matter, I'm just going to level a blanket insult at you and declare myself the victor: You smell and I rock the ****.

Lets take this conversation private and not hijack this thread. you've got PM.





I dropped the car off earlier today. Man, AMS is in the boonies.
