yeah, springs are enough. the proper springs + an upgraded rear sway bar will also improve handling. Look for Swift springs...Hotchkis is also good but I don't think they make Evo springs anymore.



that's Hotchkis on the left (~1.5" front drop, ~1" rear drop) versus stock on the right.



again, here the silver one is on the Hotchkis, the Blue By You is stock

also, on mine (the white one with the lip) is dropped on swift sports... there is exactly 1.5" drop in the front, I measured before and after, and even with stock rims, makes a huge difference!

That IC will look very sweet. Seen it on a Evo at a show a while back and fill in very nicely...plus I heard with few bolt ons you can get #'s from it. Can't wait to see it on your ride.

I am cool with 6:30, but I am not sure how that is going to work out for people that are from further out like Boston and the guy from CT that posted a bit earlier.

Like I mentioned last week, I got an idea if people want to meet in Marlborough.

I can toss out some other ideas for other towns around the 'boroughs too.

Also, K&N drop-in in. Pics up later. Oh wait... :P

What are you thinking about for Marlborough? Wednesday or Thursday at 7 or 6:30 would work OK for me, but I, too, am close by.

It is further off from the highway, but I think it would be worth it. I was thinking of the Chinese buffet in the Staples plaza. That lot tends to have a ton of empty parking spaces, so fitting all of us in should not be as claustrophobic as it was at the Olive Garden.

And if people are not feeling the Chinese food, Ruby Tuesday's is right there too. Though, they are not really set up to seat large groups from what I have seen all the times I have eaten there.

Yeah, that'd be pretty good. Also, a bit further down and slightly into Sudbury is an old mill and wedding chapel...they're both pretty good places to take pictures if and when people are interested.
