Wow, this build is going to be EPIQ!

On a sad side note - I wish Robi were more active on the board advertising those sphericals and the prices. I see nothing on his site.

I need to hit up Robi for that trailing arm spherical! NOM NOM!

nice work Geoff.

I like the Evo X FLCA's! Given the clearance issues with the factory brembo calipers with aftermarket wheels.. you end up running a big spacer to clear. (or run a low offset) i run the 18x10's all around with the +38 offset.... I was looking at my scrub radius and wishing I could make it negative somehow w/out a widebody AND TOTALLY didn't think of this. I have 20mm more positive scrub radius than factory which is why my steering feel sux now. How much longer is the Evo X FLCA? How much does it reduce the scrub radius by when projected?

One of the reasons why I ran the most amount of camber on my plates and then adjusted the rest of the shock.

THANK YOU FOR SHARING GEOFF!

EvoX LCA ... brilliant. Hope you end up selling the extended tie rod ends. This is definitely a mod that is on my radar now.

"i swear, this one is staying stock" yea... we all have said this... i think once the modding bug is in you THERE'S NO WAY OUT!!! and we love it

nice build with lots of extra extra work going into a "daily driver". BUT, do you think it will see the street much after you guys are done? Another street monster if so...
