previous owner put just tein springs on mine and I was wondering if it can be aligned to get the caster/camber right so the tires don't get eaten alive- any suggestions?

mitsu can do alignment and camber. im sure other shops could do it, but mitsu will have experience with evos and have previous specs to work with

PM me on the Megans... or better yet, do a search on "Megan coilovers" with "Zeus" as the user and let other members testimonials do the talking. You might find a better price, but you WILL NOT find better, HONEST service!

I second that, dealing with Zeus has to have been one of the best experiences I've had and I've dealt with too many people unfortunately...

tein basics would be a waste of money. I've tried megans on a 240sx, they are decent for the price but I would save for something better

i've tried the street version on mine, and the track version on someone elses 240. The track version spring rates are rated way too stiff but don't actualy feel very different from the street version in my opinion, could've been a difference in our dampening

for the price range go with kts. order from splparts.com, the guy that runs it is awesome. Instead of having your shocks rebuilt you can buy completely new shocks for only $550 so you dont have a lot of down time. Tons of people are using them on 240's including myself and have had no problems. Theyve survived plenty of drift events, auto x, and even some rally x.

9kg/mm springs front and 7kg/mm

Many will say that is too soft for the rear if you plan on track or autox.

Supposed to be stiffer in the rear than the front on the Evo.
