BLOWN evo rear shocks? I have some good ones collecting dust you can have

[Goat Blower]

Wow, nice work!
What spring rates are on those?

8kg front/7kg rear. Should be a good rate for mostly street, occasional track. It's really for getting the right height and camber settings to fit these 17x9's.

Actually, I need DSM shocks. These JIC rears are set up for the EVO, and I have the stock ones from my parts car. I need the lower DSM mount and the Koni's I just took off are only a year old, so I don't want to cut them up. I really liked how this setup rode and was surprisingly good on the track as well.

If I can't find the lower mounts, I can use a 22mm x 1.5 Heim joint, but I wanted some compliance in there for streetability.

Wish I could help you out but FWD rears are different than AWD

I suppose I could update this a bit. Ended up buying new parts store rear shocks just to cut the lower mounts off of to weld on to the Evo rears. After clean up and paint, they look good. I've found the spring rates to be a little stiff for my taste, so among other projects this winter, I'm looking at slightly softer springs. I've also picked up an Autopower 6-point bolt-in cage with halo bars for road racing next summer. I'll probably just unbolt the front bars for street use. Off to storage for the winter.

Get R Done

Are the springs to stiff or is the dampening to slow?
