Alright everybody. I have recently sold my Evo. It was slowly going under and I didn't have enough money to fix it properly. As a result I have a few parts that never made it in. I have a set(4) of RC Engineering 750cc Fuel Injectors for sale and a set(2) of StopTech Stainless Steel Brake Lines that I've found so far. I still have more digging to do. If you're interested in either of these items PM with what you're offering. I'll post updates of anything else I find on my treasure hunt. Thanks everybody

^^ if you have a X they dont make them for the X, they are only for the VIII & IX's. Just stay away from Eibach POS springs and you will be good.

i would suggest you get some coilovers, you can adjust pretty much everything on them to suit you.

Are the Eibach's just bad for the X's? Because I have them on my IX and they are great springs. I have been running those springs on all my. When I get coilovers, I will get with Tiens.

I never heard anything bad about tein springs , they are reputable plus very well made from what I've seen and heard. Evo's really don't need coilovers it's not like ur about to turn the car into a time attack beast or something. Stock shocks are great and springs are all u need. The swift spec r's are good, and also the hotchkis. Those are the only one's I've seen that I know of and read on

I heard the Tien springs suck, but hear that their CO are pretty good. I want coilovers because I would like to have my height adjustable, and I just honestly like how they ride. I love stiff suspension, (Immature people, dont get happy by the word stiff)lol.
Sucks the Eibachs didnt ride good for you. My car rides like stock, just a tad bit stiffer. I like how it didnt slam my car. It was only an inch drop.

You can benefit from having coilovers. I need to get a set of coilovers. My Hotchkis springs are no longer right for me set up. I need something way stiffer

I've had coilovers on all my cars, I think I might go with springs for the Evo this time but having coilovers is a plus.

I plan on getting AST CO. Tein suck for Evo's. For springs I would consider Swift Spec R's and Sports, GT Worx, and Works.
