The EVO Just Got Lower

Thanks to KevinD,

Kevin installed my Eibach Pro Springs this morning. 1.2 inch drop up front and 1.0 inch in the back. The car looks a whole lot better. Better stance, better handling. I should have taken pictures of the before and after but I didn't.

Next is wheels and tires, then to the engine mods.

Thanks again to KevinD.

^ who knows, but I'm no track guy, I really just wanted the car to have a good looking stance without spending 1500+ on coilovers. Didn't take pics today, I'll take some tomorrow and post up.

Don't forget to get aligned or you'll burn your tires really quick.

i took mine to NTB in grapevine, off of 121and sandy lake. they have a alignment rack level with the ground so lower cars can be done. also the tech races spec miatas (i.e. knows his stuff). he did a great job on my car.

Sorry guys, no pics yet, we had to go to the hospital all yesterday because my dad found out he has a couple of blood clots in his lungs. They are giving him blood thinning medicine to help with the absorbtion in the body. Hopefully should have pics next weekend when I get back from Houston.

The wife and I are also tryin to organize some photos so we can show the before and after, also to start documenting the build.

^thanks for you concerns.

He should be ok, but the doctor did find out that the blood clots are hereditary from my dads side of the family. My grandma (his mom) had a stroke from blood clots. My dads brother had blood clots but caught them early so nothing happened to him, and now my dad has them. They start in the legs and work their way up. Why and how they start in the legs has yet to be determined. With that being said, I should be next on the list to get them. Especially since I have had 4 knee surgeries. (injuries from football and soccer) I will be going to the doctor after the holidays to get a full blown check up. Cross ya'lls fingers.
