Probably because they all run their own custom rear undertrays.

This should do the trick

Just sell the lawn mower and explain to your neighbors that suspension is more important than lawn care.

I don't know from experience, but I've heard they are terrible on an Evo. IIRC They lower the car more than any other spring, and being so low will affect handling in a negative way. People also talk about strut failures associated with these springs. Again I don't know any of this from experience, but you seem to see the same opinions over and over again.

robert, care to enlighten everyone?
Sure.

Here's the deal the apartment complex I'm staying at has a clubhouse that can be rented out for the evenings. I wanted to put together a meet there in June (19th?) as long as people can commit to chipping in for the rental cost. My part will be the deposit in case you guys decide you're a bunch of rock stars or if someone decides to pitch a loaf in the pool. Wives and SOs are welcomed. Management says it's OK to have a bunch of cars parked in the lots so no problems with parking. Can't wait to see the looks on my neighbors faces. PM me so I know who is interested, there is a cap on the number of people so it's invite only.

Yeah, a little out of my price range there buddy...

I only ask about the S-techs cause a guy is selling a set of kyb's with them fairly cheap. I really only want a set of oe fronts, I don't feel like swapping out my whole set-up.

Don't know if they're the issue or not... Don't want it to be down that long either, I can only imagine that takes a few weeks...? Beside's the strut bearing (if that is what the problem is) is another $100 on top of the $75 for the rebuild. I don't have a problem with that as long as it is the problem.

I just want to swap out the fronts for something I know is good. I'm not trying to pay for multiple alignments.

U feel me?


Kenny what do you want for your front struts? Pm me.

Nice Andy. Looks like we are going to have a good turn out.

Chu, any word from evogirl80? She needs to take the Evo to work that day.

No mazdas if you're reading this evogirl80.

And what happens when you buy these used shocks, install them, and realized it's the bearign that was actually bad...you would have spent money on struts you didn't need!

Let her a message. She must be working really hard or something...Anyways, her schedule is changing constantly between night shift and day shift, but I hope she makes it out. She can't take her car though, the transmission is done for!

I will need them as then I can still drive the car. My car was down almost all last summer, I'm not going through that again. If the strut bearing is bad I will send it out to be fixed like I said in my other post.
