Break in miles
Wsup everyone.
I think this is the first post for me. I'm in western NY right now and plan on getting the evo in a few weeks.
I was thinking about maybe a used supra or 350z or a 240 with the SR conversion, but with all the damn snow and ****ty road conditions here, the evo sounded like the best choice.
As soon as I get the EVO, the first thing would probably be to get rid of the pontiac bumper and change it to the CWEST one.
Before I do any other mods, I was just wondering how many miles I should run before I breaking into the engine completely?
Is it ok to upgrade the suspension as soon as I get the car?
Thanks guys.

Hi and welcome!
The owners manual has a break-in period of 600 or 800 miles, I can't remember.
You can certainly change the suspension, but you will find most owners will tell you to get a couple thousand miles under you belt then decide.
Moving this to the newbie forum. If you do a search on "break in miles" you'll get the exact factory recommended breakin mileage.. etc.

Why would you change something without spending some seat time to get a feel for it, first? Aftermarket is not always better than OEM, just different - and you might like the OEM suspension setup.
