Suspension Goodies for my Evo X - Installed by DG Motors

Hey Guys,

Yesterday I went to DG Motors (in Long Island NY) to pick my car up. Pete did an amazing job with the suspension install. Even though they had quite a few cars to finish up, they had the car back to me within 2 days. They had to get a special piece fabricated in order to press the Perrin PSRS in the control arm ... Always willing to go the extra mile to get the car finished.

The install went flawlessly, with no squeeks or rattles from anywhere in the suspension.

Previously I had BC Racing BR Series coilovers on my car. I was looking for a stiffer set-up to suit my driving stlye. After researching and taking into account many opinions, I finally settled on Endura-Tech Coilovers. These are amazing, well worth the money. There is no bumpy/bounce ride. The car stays firmly planted on all surfaces.

I also installed the Perrin PSRS, and Whiteline Front Center Roll Kit. The combination of all the part, is a car that goes exactly where you want it to go.

Thanks DG!!!!!!

-Andre

I went with the 10kg/10kg spring rates. Pete did the set up himself, with a 1 finger gap between the tire and the fender. Not sure exactly how many inches he lowered it.

Got an alignment from his boy John at Pep Boys ... really cool dude, who knows what hes doing.

Sorry i didnt take pics of the parts before the install, and i dont believe Pete took any photos. It snowed in NYC today, so once the weather gets better, i will be sure to take photos of the coils.

The BC's were good coilovers, but when you press into the car, its weak points start to surface. Plus, I'm super critical on driving feel. If you not planning on doing any track events, the BC's are a great buy.

The Endura-Techs are SUPER ... they may be more than twice the price of the BC's, but well worth the money. The Endura-Tech's are super sturdy, and quiet (so far, lol). Unless ur going to do a massive amount of track days, i think the 10kg/10kg set up will do just fine.

Yeah, DG is amazing. They really know their stuff. I heard good things about IVEY also. Im in Queens, so im not roo far from Ivey either (around 45-1 hour).

I"m pretty much done with the suspension stuff, and gonna do the ETS Stock replacement Mani, with a Blouch turbo, fuel system, and a few other things later next year..
