Uh.....i didn't ask? I already know what i need to know. I was helping op make a decision just like you we're. While yes you have different views there's no need to "tell me what's up" so to speak.

My apologies; the avatars look very similar and I'm sorry for the mistake. Regardless, my point stands in full.

Errr...no offence, but your comment revolved around a "good enough" concept for the dubious sake of appearance. If that's what you're comfortable with, so be it. Good luck.

While this is true for the time being due to tein s techs on stock shocks which is what i got with the car. I'm planning to upgrade. And yes this will have to do for now due to my motor build.

However you can't tell me a properly set up car such as a robi spec car. Which is most likely lower than mine, has the suspension geometry changed for the worse. No one would be spending upwards of 3g on full blown suspension setups then. But i guess you're just reffering to the lowering spring on stock shock setup. Which i agree is not ideal but still does better than the stock setup due to less body roll.

That's my point of view. Hope you understand where i'm coming from. It seems like you're the kind of guy that's all about the "all or nothing way" and i respect that. But some people don't have the money for the "all out" part such as the op or the previous owner of my car. To them this is a good settle.

I'd love to comment, but I fear getting banned for vendor bashing. Let's just sat that following the development thread left me much less than comfortable.

I appreciate the moderate reply.

simple logic as to why mitsu didnt put loweirng springs on the evo as stock, they want the aftermarket vendors make money aswell and loose its warranty when you do some mods to your car. and thats what the manufacturer wants to save them a bunch of money .

They engineered it to be a street going car. We want it to do other things, like AX and HPDE, then we have to adjust some of the areas to meet our needs.

Perhaps I could if you wrote the post in English. No flame meant. It's just that it lends to understanding, other than looking for an interpreter fluent in gibberish. If you want to be understood, write that way. Posting on a forum isn't just about uploading text. Besides, some complete sentences would help. It's all about communication. Don't you want your message to be understood? Best of luck.
