Hey penguins2001, have you thought about getting a DMS 50mm tarmac ? if your are looking for something PROPER you will be blow away by their sensitivity to changes.
Also, considering an EcuTeK training ?

how is the drivetrain? drive shaft, t-case, diff's etc??? in the mean time ill be searching lol

I would also recommend DMS, Moton or the Ohlins for your suspension.

ive used the M800 a few times in the past so hopefully i wont have any problems its pretty strait forward. im leaning towards the ohlins group N only becasue i know how good of a shock ohlins makes and have had great results with their customer service in the past although it looks like there are a ton of options out there for qualitly setups. i would like to do the occasional rally along with normal autocrossing and road courses so i need a really versitile shock
i think i may be getting ecutek training at KTR though i find it hard to believe it would take more than a day to learn myself all ecu's do the same thing they just hide the functions in different menus lol... some can just do a little more than others after you learn a couple it doesnt take long to learn the next one

actually i know exactly what im looking for... im 20... suprised?... the main reason i posted wasnt to be told what shock to use, i can see my option but i have never run one of these shocks (obviously) i dont want to buy a shock and THEN hear about a story from someone who bought ohlins group N shocks, took them to a rally and folded two front shocks in half the first time they got in the air. id rather hear those stories now (obviously this has never happened and never will) but just as an extreme example

all that said, posts that state, "hey i'm getting this job and the shop is all mine afterhours to do what ever i please..." is hardly the way to handle yourself in a proffesional manner, regardless of your age (even though comments like that show your immaturity and lack of professionalism)...
i wish you luck with your project... evos are great cars...

im not concerned at all with my commute or the cars streetability, i think ice/snow is the least important as far as suspension goes, when tractions that low and the grounds that soft its mostly tires if not all tires. tarmac and gravel are obviously very different as far as how the car needs to be... damped so im looking for something with a wide range of adjustability there, obviously spring rates are easy to change.
i never meant my post to come accross like that i was simply stating my situation. ive always had good resources at my disposal so i guess im lucky in that regard, i wasnt trying to flaunt it or come accross as immature.

suspension has no affect on traction on ice
Hmmm, it's all low speed dude. Any suspension and chasis guru will tell you this. If shocks and spring setups were not important on snow and ice, everyone would run full tarmac setups on the ice because it is not that important ....
Best of luck at your new post, say Hi to scott and the guys for me.
