Seriously though, it depends on the money. Springs are around $200, coilover are around $2000. Do you want to spend that $1800 on suspension, is it worth that much to be able to adjust ride height, and dampening. Will you adjust it??

I would buy coilovers in a second if I hadn't promised my wife to stop buying car parts. I love adjusting stuff and playing with set-up. But being on a budget I'll just get some camber plates for now and keep rockin' my springs.
^^^^Yeah, but ben drives like a girl!!!

I bought my teins with edfc for $1100. Brand new used. If you shop on the private parts forums, which I know Jeremy does, you can get a screaming deal. The cool thing about the flexes is they are completely rebuildable, and you can rebuild them for about the same price as buying new stock struts, and with the edfc you don't even have to leave the drivers seat to adjust the damping. Springs suck after you've had coilovers.

You could just do springs now, then upgrade with koni adjustables, or kyb agx's, and then do camber plates, but by the time you do all of it you may as well have just done coilovers in the first place.

Jared you nee to tell your wife it is important that she supports you in your work and hobbies!!! That's what my wife's bishop told her

Sorry didn't get back sooner,

Thx for the advice on the anodizing and muffy.

I liked the Buschur because of its 'slight' upgradability from catback form. That's something that can be found probably in other systems, but BR seemed to be a good path.

Oh .. btw .. I forgot to mention that I think I'd be wanting the Magnaflow can stuck on the end. I've been around / in a few really cheez built drone mobiles all because the can can't dampen squat. So mebby I should be asking which can allows mostly stock sound in idle and lowload (crusing) .. but really has a good performance charastic when speedracer mode is turned on?

Thanks,

jcnel.

Hey guys just wanted to let you know about a little meet coming up. This will not be your normal meet and drive like **** event. It will be a event to check out some cars eat some food and win some prizes.

Rallysport Direct is sponsering it. We have a bunch of suby stuff to give away. But if we get some EVO guys coming then I will make sure there are some EVO parts in there for you guys to win. We will have a bunch of window stickers and such that you can have for free. Let me know if you guys are interested.

Ben

Here is a thread to the info: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=823209

$625!? I thought had good prices.

Here's a recently released concept drawing from :


Some speculation that it has some design elements of EVO X. Looks like morphed Dodge Charger to me ... but I like it.

The clear cloat on both my front calipers is flaking off!! Looking to have them powder coated next spring!!

Anyone looking for a complete set of Hawk HP Plus racing pads?!? Asking 200 OBO

You are correct father, it is a concept, but not a concept of the X... But it is indeed speculated on many sites that the front-end is roughly what the front will look like on the X.

If you read my post monkey boy ... you'll see I never said it was a concept for the X.
