Haha unfortunately thats the reputation we have elsewhere =/

Jacob and I have been good friends for over 5 years now, but unfortunately a lot of people don't like him.

But anyways /threadjack

Good luck on the new evo bro!

Thanks everyone and I don't mind the thread jack. It just kinda morphed into something else. Lol..... Are you gonna change out the suspension on WW? I thought it was atleast okay for some cheap *** suspension. It was only $450. Oh and remember that those are 3mil spacers on the front wheels to clear the calipers.

Yeah I already lowered the front a little and noticed, assumed they were 5mm but they're damn close to the caliper!

Man to be honest, the suspension I had on the Volkswagen was 1300 dollars... but they don't even come CLOSE to comparing to the quality of these on the evo LOL. Not sure how I feel about them yet, they ride amazing. We'll see how they do in some autocross, but I'm usually sketched out by cheap stuff.

Hopefully pulling the tranny today!

This is my roommates car so I can only imagine the direction I'm going to take this car, he'll pressure me into doing something stupid with it.

Yeah I was really skeptical when a buddy told me to go and buy those coilovers because I dont usually go for things THAT cheap but I was impressed. I'm not sure how they will hold up in auto-x though. And you can ask anyone, I think I rolled that car a little too low but it looked pretty good that way though. The only thing I ever scraped was the lip though......


......and that's a crazy *** s2k. If I had that one, it would look like a solid Fred Flinstone wheel back there. Some 27 inch wide slicks. Lol

Bahaha. Yeah the Volkswagen was 3/4 inch off the ground so I'm pretty used to driving low. Evo won't ever be that low though I like it right where its at. I lowered the entire car like half an inch and will leave it right there.

Looks like I'll need to head down there sometime for some shows or GTG's.. No one really seems to get together in Louisiana. At least that I can find.

Nah, I don't think the Evo would fit in with the car meets in LA because it's not a box and bubble donk thing. Lol, just playin'....just wait till you see the looks you get in the car and how people stare at those wheels. They are actually relatively light for them being 18x10's. They are forged aluminum weighing in at 48 or 49 lbs with tire. Which is pretty close to the stock enkei's I think.

LMAO sad but soo true.

And yeah I pulled them off and was like oooh, wow these are light.

I swear in the two days I drove the car, I've gotten a million more compliments then the 5 years I owned my Volkswagen. One guy even offered to buy it the other day while it was sitting at the shop.

Yeah, you will get that alot. LGshow19 is still pissed at me that I didn't wait for him to come back from his deployment to sell it to him. But you know how you just get that feeling when you find THAT car. You just know when you found the one you gotta have.
