Pretty new to the evo forums and was looking into buying an evo 10. I at first wanted an evo 8 or 9, but just decided why not go with an x? So after doing some research on what models they have I decided to go with on of the manuals. Which boiled down to the GSR and the Final Edition. At first as soon as I saw the Final Edition I immediately put that as my final choice, but then realized that they were a bit more expensive that the regular GSR. So this lead me to do some research on both. As figured there were a lot of GSR reviews but not many FE's. I know it doesn't really matter but FE's seem to have my like. Base what I am saying, should I get a GSR or a Final Edition evo x? All opinions appreciated.

 

This all depends on what you personally want. The only major difference between a final edition and a GSR is the special badge and black roof. FEs tend to have less mileage on them due to their rarity but you can still find low-mileage GSRs if you do some looking. Otherwise, a GSR could have the exact same interior and exterior specs as a FE.

 

All 2015 Evos had no Recaro seats. FE is 2015 evo.

 

The FE's have the same suspension as the MR (Bilsteins spelling?) the GSRs have KYBs. But that's an easy swap if you want OEM Bilsteins spelling?

 

FE also has the different sodium filled valves in the cylinder head that 99% of people won't even notice.

 

Oh, that's good to know. I thought they didn't come with sodium valves at all.
