From what i've been told, guy sold his benz, flew down to texas and bought a brand new gtr and brought it to them, haha. Wouldn't be my choice either, but hey guess if you got money it don't matter. Much rather send it to AMS or Switzer. Hell he was in Texas, could have at least gone to Jotech or T1.

Since he was in Texas skip Jotech heard too many stories where Kenny ****ed **** up! So your left with T1 race development or Boost logic can't go wrong with either choice.

Is it worth buying used coilovers?

Those are not coilovers. False ad. Not Bilsteins. They are KYBs. The one who posted is ignorant. These springs are the worst for Evos but better with other makes such as Hondas.
I can honestly say swift or GT Worx springs are highly rated. Coilovers are overkill if you never going to track the car. On the other hand if "stance" is what you want then coilovers LOL

But not a bad price it you wanted to experiment.

Good deal thanks for the input. Don't plan on tracking the car. But eventually I wouldn't mind lowering it a bit.

Ton of evo's in town, just spotted a blacked out 10 at Tikatnu earlier today and another blue 9 w/rims and black tails on the way from muldoon.

As far as springs go, i recall that the teins suck ***. Mike is right though, the swift springs are probably the best set you can get.

Picture I took on the way back up to Fairbanks. Ready for this white stuff to leave. It's almost May and there is still snow.

Hey man, did you get it tuned already? I'm having issues with mine. I think the wastegate actuator died.
