Hi, I'm Nikki

Age: 28
Work: ex performance motorsports industry
Live: Woodinville
Drive: Evo X & Audi S4



I met a handful of you at a suspension clinic last weekend, and was encouraged to join EvoM. I'm honestly not much a forum person but look forward to having the additional technical resources and support. I'll also be browsing your classifieds since I'm currently needing a stock deflector and mounting bracket as I center punched a cone pretty good a couple weeks ago during autox. So please let me know if you've swapped for something aftermarket and have one of these laying around! Doesn't need to be pretty, just in one piece. Thanks!

A painstaking number of adjustments had to be made to resolve clearance issues, however this was not due to suspension but tire/wheel combo (18x10.5" RPF1s w/Dunlop Starspec 275s).

On a side note, I would not recommend that set-up to anyone who doesn't have their own lift, alignment rack, fender roller etc as it was quite time consuming to eliminate rubbing. It's a little too aggressive in my opinion and would have opted for something a bit more modest.

Just came from a MS3

Hey guys I am new in the Evo land. I just got a 2012 GSR and I am excited about what good things there are to come. So is English racing the best tuner in the area? I had only assumed, since I see them talked about so much. I am on JBLM so if anyone wants to talk shop Pm me.
