Hey guys, thinking of a new EVO IX....

What factory options are worth getting?



Here in Aust the options are:

non adjustable bilstein coilovers
vortex generator (inc downforce +2kg)
CF rear wing lip attachment (inc downforce +4kg)
adjustable weight gear knob (!!)
BBS rims instead of enkei (1.1kg lighter)


and the usual

mats
scuff plates




I'm just thinking it's better off to get aftermarket coilovers that are height and bound/rebound adjustable (like Tein flex with EDFC) and get my own aftermarket light weight rims.....

opinions pls! Thx!

 

I've never heard of options on the IX like that. A few of the things you mentioned are only on the MR - they are not options.

 

Do you live in the US?

 

Ah, I think he's in Australia, and I thought he meant Austin, TX, haha...

 

Yeah Austraila is what I was thinking. I saw that he had a Integra Type R and assumed that he was not from the US.

 

BBS 14 spoke and Enkei 10 spoke wheels are both light. The BBS are stronger. THEY ARE BOTH A PIAN IN THE B@!!S to CLEAN and keep clean!!!

The lip attachment is great if you plan on racing the car. Mitsu gets too much $$$ for something that you can get in a hardware store and put on yourself.

 

Aaah I see.... we only get 1 spec here (the GSR).... they have a RS available for the racing companies (eg Rally Australia).

 

Lol, updated my profile.....

even had ppl wondering why I was asking about a Honda Integra Type R stereo!
