suggestions on my suspension/handling list
hello everyone!
as far as my previous mods, ive recently finished swapping most, if not all, bushings related to the drivetrain making for a better quality of life feeling. I would now like to continue to expand on that and begin to work on the handling/suspension aspect of my X. I've been doing some research on ways to improve the suspension/handling and based on the threads that Ive read I was able to form my list of parts I think would help. DISCLAIMER: this is NOT a "best settings" threads as I understand each one of us has a set preference.(ex: ones "rough" ride can be anothers "soft", etc.) This is my DD so I know that it will be up to me to decide what settings I enjoy when the time comes and have the parts installed. I was just hoping you guys would help revise the list and suggest other things based on your experiences. thank you guys in advance!
my list so far:
Ohlin R/T (10k/10k or 10k/12k) (read that the rear should be higher. correct me if im wrong)
whiteline front center adjustment kit
hotchkis front/rear sway bar
whiteline front end links
hotchkis rear end links
anything else I should consider? thanks again! Happy holidays!!

Im no X expert, but i think you can run more of a square spring set-up on the X's due to the far outboard lower rear shock mount. On the CT9A we benefit more from a higher rear rate due to further inboard rear lwr shock mount (i.e 10K / 12K)
I would forgo the front sway bar as these EvOs are already understeer prone so why make it worse, combining it w/a high front spring rate (just a thought)
Im sure youll get more comments
