Yep, she's dropped with Eibach's Pro-Kit.. It's not a drastic drop like some other springs, but the ride is tight and performance-wise it's amazing. As can be seen in my cruising vid. further up on the previous page, the roads here aren't great, so some cushioning and travel room are really nice to have. +1 for Eibach's for sure.

Thanks. Rule #1 when it comes to girlfriends and modding your car... What they don't know won't hurt them, and what you do know, they probably won't notice.
not to mention they notice every damn thing u do and also find out no matter what.

UPDATE:
Awoke to the sounds of more presents being delivered this morning. My OpenPort 1.3M cable, as well as Evo 8 Radio Relocation Kit have arrived!









I must say I'm really surprised that the radio relocation kit is actually the genuine mitsubishi parts one... I didn't realize that when I ordered it. The kit came from 500whp.com in case anyone didn't happen to read it in one of the other posts. Install and more pics to come!

Alright.. I just finished installing my Evo 8 Radio Relocation Kit. Install was pretty easy, it just took a bit of wire management to fit everything in there as you'll see in the pictures below:
Stock Placement:

Cubby Hole Plate Removed:

View of the messy wiring and alarm module inside the cubby:

HVAC control knobs removed for access to the screws to remove the console bezel:

Bezel removed:

Head unit partly removed:

Head unit removed:

At this point, I couldn't maneuver my hands nimbly enough to organize the wiring and alarm module, so I removed the HVAC controls as well. These are a couple of pics under the driver side dash to show the 2 cables which have to be released in order to get the unit out.
Heater piping blocking access to the cables: (it just pulls away)

Cables:

And.. the removed unit:

Everything out:

Stock mounting brackets attached to the head unit:

New (shorter) bracket attatched:

Head unit hooked up and put in place:

Alarm module hooked up and put in place:

HVAC controls hooked up and back in place:

Bezel reinstalled:

New cubby cover installed:

Finished product:

As you may have noticed, I still have a gaping hole in my dash from the stock radio location, but I currently have a 3-guage bezel on the way from Gruppe-s which will fix that up. The only thing I don't have, and don't have ordered are some guages! LOL.. I'll take care of that later. In the mean time, I have my ECU reprogramming cable, so one of those guages is gonna have to be a wideband oxygen sensor so I can start tweaking my fuel curves... but that's for another day
Cheers!

$89.99 for the Mitsubishi one. Tuning software is available on http://www.openecu.org/
This thread is the one which got me started on the idea... so I'm sure it can help you out as well: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=219752
I just ordered my AEM UEGO Wideband Controller, so hopefully I'll be tuning soon.
