so just out of curiosity... what would happen to an evo if you launched in reverse?

The reverse vortex that would be generated from the wing and the 0 lift kit would cause gravity itself to reverse, which would spin a cataclysmic turn of events that would cause the world to end!

And if it were a MR, that vortex generator on the roof would in fact reverse the vortex causing a glitch in the Matrix... then Kiano Reeves or whatever would jump out and shout "DUDE, EXCELLENT!" and he'd get a emmy for best leading role!

OMG no one better EVER launch their Evo's in reverse.

it shouldn't, reverse is the strongest gear in your car due to it being straight cut. But it will also depend on how hard you launch i guess

oh... ok.

well if any one is interested... i have stock parts coming out of an evo 8 head (cams, gears, valves, springs, retainers, etc.) the head itself is cracked in a bad place so its no good. everything else is good.

also still have a rear bumper, rear trunk lid, rear wing, lost of suspension parts, a center diff, rear right door, rear clip... bunch of stuff.

any one need anything?

The Espelir springs works really well on the GSR struts. I believe Robi uses Espelirs on his STG1 cars with alot of success. Swifts work really well and ride nicer as they are progressive in the back. I believe the Espelirs springrates are higher and are a linear spring like stock. They are lower too which may fatigue the strut more in the long run but they handle very well. I would stray away from the Teins....

I have tein tech S for my Mr. It is a good spring I would say.

But if I have the money, I will go for Cusco/HKS coils.
