Suspensions?!?!? Is that what this is? I don't understand....DOES MY CAR HAVE SUSPENSIONS?

Scheides has a great 9-5 job. He gets to show up drunk and post on message boards. Can I get an application?? :biggrin:

This has to be a joke. Scheides only goes fast in a straight line and everyone knows upgraded suspension won't make you faster doing triple digits on the highway.

haha... i can't wait to see where this goes!

Show up? What do you mean.... :)

You are so gay.
Get off the internet and finish your install.

Ok fine homos, I did this friday night/sat morning, after finishing the tail-light painting. Here's what I got:

Eibach pro-kit springs, decided to go for the gold at the cookout and just slap them on teh stock KYB struts. Turns out it was a good idea!

No cutting of stock bumpstops:

First off, let's take a look at that sexy, sexy stock ride height:

And now, ~1.2" drop front and rear, no rake (and dirrrty):

Ride quality is dramatically improved while cruising, and the car feels smoother AND tighter through the corners. No, this is not a hardcore track setup, but guess what? Like most other evo owners, I DD my car and I have a whiney wife. This is a perfect compromise for me, performance versus comfort. I wanted to do some MR bilsteins at the same time for the ultimate uber setup, but I have to say that these springs on the stock KYB shocks have really, really, really made a drastic difference for the good.

Special thanks to Modern Automotive Performance for getting these in my hands in like what, TWO DAYS? Pretty impressive, and the price was right.

See you at the cookout, bitches! :D
