Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects

It was time to switch up and improve my suspension. I was following schides recipe from his Evo. I bought a set of new bilsteins with some Swift spec-r's, I restacked the rear differential, installed a whiteline rear sway bar with whiteline bar links and larger brackets. The car looks way better lowered a little bit. What sparked all this was that my silver evo has a blown strut. It's going to get the bilsteins from my MR. I also bought a tatricx 2.0 cable to replace my 1.3 that died on me, I'm playing with ACD tunes now.



I also had really crappy looking brembo's, so I decided to repaint them. Evo M had a great write-up on refinishing. I never realized they sold 2K clear coat in a rattle can. The results were really good. I bought one of those paint code custom aerosol cans.

After I manually chipped off the failing clear coat:

With the high temp vinyl decals.
