Loving my ROBISPEC setup...

Thanks Robert for the great work on my suspension! Best ~$1200 I've ever spent. Anyone in so Cal who's wants suspension mods should give Robi serious consideration.

The grip and turn-in is phenomenal... understeer is dialed out. Don't believe that aftermarket springs will always ruin your Evo's handling... you just need the right setup, alignment, and rear swaybar (Espelir GT, Progress).

ROBISPEC Setup: Espelir GT Springs, Rear Bushing Kit, Rear Bump-Steer Kit, Progress 25 mm Rear Swaybar, ROBISPEC Racing Alignment. I'm on stock wheels and tires.

Ride is lowered ~1.5" front and ~1" rear.

The ride is fine... I like to feel the road. Springs are progressive and may be smoother than stock for first .5 to 1 inch of travel.

Not sure about the rear, but the front is at max camber w/out camber plates.

It's not a kit but a custom setup designed and installed by a guy who did extensive testing to find the optimal combination of parts and settings.

You can find Robert's contact info at Robispec.com.

Seriously, what's there to tune? It's all bolt on stuff besides the alignment.
