Review of JIC/Mueller Suspension
OK, it stopped raining in L.A., and I got to drive my JIC suspension tuned by John Mueller of Road Race Engineering (coil overs and rear swaybar) tonight on dry pavement. For those of you who know L.A., I ran Sunset Blvd. from the 405 to PCH. Lots of fun twisties, punctuated by short straights.
It's like the car runs on rails. Corners totally flat. Sticks to the road with the stock Advans. I was probably only running at 7/10s, and still it was amazing. I told John to lower the ride height only one inch, due to clearance problems I have getting into the subterranean garage at my condo. Otherwise, he would have lowered it more.
I have owned a lot of sports cars in my life, but never one as fun to drive as the '04 EVO RS with JIC/Mueller suspension. Can't wait to start engine modding and get more hp to the wheels.

Congrats on joining the gofaster club! I continue to be amazed at how my Muellerized/JIC car handles.
Now you have to get to the track: Try them out properly at the Next EOC event at Streets of Willow on Nov 28th.
BTW, all of the fastest evo's on any of the track events i have driven had Mueller/JIC's...

I will be at Buttonwillow Raceway northwest of Bakersfield on Nov. 13 & 14, and at Thunderhill Raceway north of Sacramento on Nov. 27 & 28. I don't care much for Streets of Willow -- not enough straights and long sweepers for a high hp car. The EVO would be a blast on the big track at Willow Springs.
I signed up for Nov. 14 at Sears Point, but they put me on a waiting list. I think the Porsche Club of America doesn't want to see its $86,000 911s get spanked by a $26,000 EVO -- LMFAO.

Too bad youze guyz live in the East where it snows all winter. Here in Los Angeles, the worst we can expect Dec. through March is a little rain. It hasn't snowed here in 1000 years.
