Retail goes above $14k + you have to buy two mounts which are Reiger specific. These around $1500 and above. Then you need someone who actually familiar with the Reiger and the enviroment you will use them and set it up for you . Then you can start playing with them to set it up for yourself.
Seems a lot and hassle? Maybe . But this is defenietly worth it.

For suspension and rear brakes this is the
top. But for other suspension part you still can do a lot. Subframes for example or control arms etc. But the main thing is over. Suspension and brakes. These were the most of the things prevented me from running on gravel. As you probably noticed
took me a couple try and error before I exepted the fact, if you want to enjoy what you do, you need a proper parts for it. Now I do not have to brake before bumps jumps or watch the road for pot wholes... now I truly can concentrate on the turns etc. I can brake later and the bumps doesnt throw me off line so on and so forth.
These suspensions are a whole new level of the meaning of racing.
There is no really matching suspension as today for the evo. Doesnt matter is tarmac or gravel or snow .
ps: by to lift them up and place them side by side, the Reiger is slightly if heavier like that then a naked AST, which we all know its a light suspension already

Nope. I am done with things slowing me down. Now I can bravely say the car is a way a head of me. And that is a way I like it.
I had too many years in this car worrying parts holding together and limiting the joy of racing. Like driving the car and see a jump and tapping the brake loosing seconds to make sure the suspension will survive or the car because the suspension maxing out.
at least with these it is all about you and the road.
Huge difference. I really feel now the car
Is much better then I am.
and that is an awesome feeling.
