I jus purchased my Evo Mr on Saturday from Fresno, CA. Was wondering what else you have for the MR?

 

How can we be sure of this?

JustDSM states:
I'd like to pick up a set of the Bilsteins, but I'd like to know if there are any other factors to making my current evo ride like the MR.

 

I've not been able to do any further poking around to find out more on this. I can tell you, that I have reconfirmed what I posted earlier regarding the part numbers. I wish I could help more.

 

Thanks anyway JustDSM. Someone mentioned that the different spring part numbers in the rear could be due to the ACD system.

Just my hypothesis... the spring that is different should be on the driver side, rear, since the ACD resevoir should be on that side, right? I don't know the layout of the new MR, but could the ACD system have some parts near the driver side, rear spring that necessitates a different spring? In that case, should the passenger rear spring on the MR have the same part number as the earlier Evos?

 

Holy **** thats expensive.. the billsteins on my truck were 200 shipped...

 

Its also quite possible that both rear springs are the same, but have differnt part numbers for organizational/production purposes. Simply put, each part on the car probably has a part number. The Japanese are famous for the simplicity and thus the effficiency of their manufacturing techniques. My 86' Toyota 4runner had 4 part numbers for the tires. 1 for each tire :/ It never made sense to me, but it obviously did to them and who can argue with their production methods?

 

Are the swaybars the same on the 05 MR versus the 03/04 GSR?

Chris

 

In that case TooManyHobbies, the 93/94 GSR springs should have different part numbers right?

 

(assuming you meant 03-04)

Not necessarily. Having different part numbers for the same part allows for two different prices for the part, even if the differences are insignificant.

 

Haha! Yeah, sorry. I meant 03-04.

 

So is there anyone out there that knows for sure, or is someone going to bite the bullet and take a chance on just swaping in the Bilsteins?

 

according to a recent canadian car mag, they site the springs are the same...

 

The Bilsteins are SOLD Plz let me know if any of you are interested..

 

Do you have other sets? what is your price $1550 or $1900?

 

no ron, im not ignorant. anyone who drives a domestic car is ignorant. there is better quality you get from japanese cars you dont get from domestic cars.
