Hi Kyle,
I have some customers in your area, none with an EVO setup though. Would you like me to put you in contact with one or two of them if I can ?

regards,
mark

LOL, not the first time. Debating about having RRE re-work them or getting DMS instead.

DMS-Mark: My roomate has a rally car with the 50mm DMS on a golf, feels great but I really want to see how they feel on an Evo, particularly the 40mm versions.

Hi Kyle,
I will be heading out to the 25hr endurance race at Thunderhill Raceway this weekend. You can reach me at 514-242-3967 to chat. I am not aware of an EVO customer in the WA area... would you be able to head up to Rocket Rally ? You could test some 40mm types on various cars at their facility.
Let me know,
Mark

Question...sorry for hijacking

Someone is selling me a DMS EVO complete setup, set up comes with Top Strut mounts for the Rear Struts Only - (There are No Front Strut top mounts)...is that normal? And what do I do for front strut top mounts? thanks

50mm NT units ? Because of the design of the rear struts. you absolutly needed the rear pilo ball mounts. The front units are an option. As of January, all new kits are shipped with fronts and rear. You can purchase the front units seperatly if need.

Thanks for getting back to me Mark. I sent my JIC units to Road Race and they found some serious flaws from the last attempt at rebuilding them by a previous company. I feel pretty confident they will set them up correctly and won't fail again (crossing fingers). Looks like I'm going to stick with them for the time being.

Street driving, definatly the 40mm. If you want a little more kick though, we would up the spring rates a hair. I am still looking for someone in the Bay area to test a set of 40mm with an install at SRM Tuning? If they are not happy with the shocks, I will fully refund them within 30days.
