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!
installed:
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!  |

The drop looks good. Not too low, not too high. Nicely done!

Scheides has enough problems with dark people stealing his stuff.

Dude, I told you, you gotta get those holes welded up, otherwise your hood won't fit right! Hahaha The drop looks good.

Re: Help! Found massive hole in side of engine bay?!?!?
That drop looks good. But that garage floor is entirely too clean, and that has to be the biggest manufactured breaker bar Ive seen. Sure beats the 10' black steel tube I got

Re: Help! Found massive hole in side of engine bay?!?!?
Just took a cruise down to hastings last night, via downtown minneapolis. MN roads sure do suck, but damn I love the smooth ride of these progressive springs. They very subtly soak up cracks and bumps, but still let you really feel the road, as you should in an evo.
Visiting Dr. Forss today.

Jeff is a nut, but he does great work for cheap!
One of the WRX shocks is blown and getting replaced under warranty...I should have them slip some ProKits on!
