its the best mod i did on the evo. its worth every penny. the drop is perfect (not too low) but your RA mudflaps will scrape on tall speedbumps. mine does. as for the ride, its super close to stock stiffness wise, but youll get more grip.
would you like to buy mine?
its f0rskens old set up.
thanks for the linky marvin. ill check it out

I already have springs (will have to ask JoeyB what they are as its his old setup from before he went to Ohlins) so i'm used to scraping my scripper scraper.
Josel, the springs are easy. Here is the quick version:
- jack-up the car (of course)
- remove wheels
- remove top hat thing; clean out grease
- remove knuckle-nuts holding the base of the strut (2 or 3)
- remove top bolts holding strut
- replace struts (there is a method to how they should be installed, so hopefully you marked them)
- tighten everything back up in the corresponding manner
- re-grease up top; replace cap
- pretty much the same for the rears, except smaller/easier
- drive for a few days; get it re-aligned
I don't think I missed anything major.

bwahahaha nice one marvin. the video you provided earlier was really helpful.
a buddy and i tackled the swap for about an hour.
thanks guys.
tim - not sure. it used to be f0rsakens set up so i didnt really bother asking him. i had it for a few months now. i put on prolly 10-15k max.
ryan - i will sell it as a package. not really planning on parting it out.

holy fuggballs tomorrow is going to suck. I need to wake up with the boy and get him off to school in the morning, which will make it that much more enjoyable...
I think the double-hen would've put me over the top...until my homeboy asked me if I wanted a shot. Something about Southern Comfort and Lime Schnapps? (I asked the waitress to surprise me...)
I figured I had better finish that 3rd pitcher of Men's Room Red as a chaser...yikes.

yeah andrew tried via phone.
I dont have a shop light, and the project that was supposed to be 45 mins is now over 2.5hours
And I am now wondering if this knock off lip will even fit.
If i calm down, im going out there to put the stock **** back on and then burn the lip and watch my 150$ melt away.
