Well there is racing all over the place. As Dan said PRP is fun for drag racing, and you can always have fun with these guys in the summer. We have auto-x around, TT's(these are on a go cart track, and Beaver Run north track should be a go this year also). Open lap days, (at Beaver Run). And hillclimbs(mostly in eastern PA and a few in central PA and Maryland. What are you looking for?

My car has a significant drop. The ride is a tad harsh but nothing to worry about.

Hey Josh, if you ever need a good camera man, Steelcityevo8 is your man. He was like Spielberg when I was at the drag strip .

Bye the way HI new guy! Don't mind me i'm someone who you should never listen too.

On another subject. I have a new Mitsubishi in the family as of tommorow. (no not a x. The wife said i had to be able to fit the dogs in with the kids and she didn't like the idea of the dogs sitting on the kids laps.) SO i bought an Outlander, Graphite grey, with paddle shifters.. Seems like a decent car/truck to replace the pathfinder. I do love the nissan tho and wouldve' just bought another one but this was good deal and the financing is good. Oh well, i'm doing my part for the economy.
Damn I'm installing the rear bumpsteer and rear lower control arm bushings this winter....already lost the bushing race....well I lost all the rest of them might as well be perfect...ha ha

Anybody install the front roll control kit yet?

I don't know to be honest. About the same as Mondo, maybe a tad bit lower by 1/4 inch. The bottom edge of my front lip is just 4 inches off the ground.

I too have the SE lip. If you are looknig to give your evo a more aggressive stance a mild drop and a lip, such as the ralliart is the way to go IMO. The lower lip giving the illusion of a much lower and more agressive stance.

works springs. i wouldn't recommend them. get coilovers.

i did my research, thought i picked a good set that would hold me over till i got a new suspension, ended up blowing out both front struts a few months ago.

so learn from my mistake, do it right the first time and get coil overs.

What Struts? Bilstein or the standard stock? Any idea what coilovers you are looking to get?

bilsteins.

coilovers depend on the budget. ideally with all the money in the world i would get Ohlin DFV's. but they cost an arm and a leg.
