Cobb Tuning does it again!

I dropped my car off at Cobb before going to Florida for the family vacation. I had just hit 50k miles on the Evo and decided while I was out of town to get the 60k mile services done. While its there I might as well have a complete suspension done as well.

AST was the choice. So I now have a really nice suspension setup on the car. I have to say its a night and day difference. In just "soft" mode it drives better than stock.

Also had a compression test done on the car as well. I did not expect any major loss, but certainly some... After all 50k miles with over 400 hp running gas and over 450 running e85. Nope, none at all. 150 on all cylinders expect one at 148, and that could be just the fact that the engine cooled just enough during the test.

I'm quite pleased with Cobb. I have thoroughly enjoyed this car and considering its a daily driver, makes it that much better. Thanks again Cobb for making a great car with a lot of horsepower, reliable.

I have no doubt I can easily get another 50k on this stock motor.

Excellent suspension choice. I don't think you could have done much better!

Your car is turning into quite the beast man.

I've personally fielded a few calls from the Middle East and Europe as well.

or maybe you're dropping your jaw because you're surprised he didn't know where we're located. lol



Thanks for the write-up Tom, its refreshing to have customers that enjoy our work as much you do!
