I didnt' read the add really carefully but it has more stuff than you need. Also, you can find the stuff cheaper than in that kit if you look. Evo VIII takes about 4.5 quarts in the motor, less than a quart in the transfer case, less than a quart in the rear diff, and about 3 quarts in the tranny. There is no center diff. You probably dont need the water wetter unless you track your car.

WRONG WRONG WRONG

transfer case is shockproof ONLY you put 75 90 you will hear the whir of DEATH, look on the socalevo thread http://www.socalevo.net/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=37&topic=26793.msg6925303#msg6925303
andrew did the SAME thing you were thinking... i had to change out his 75 90 AFTER it started whirring, it was too late.

also... what transmission are you running? depending on that you should run a different mix of tranny fluid. the mt90 is thicker than mtl (this is either obvious or not obvious at all) that mix you suggest might be ok... but if you have a 6 speed some like straight mt90 some like mt90 with a half quart of redline heavy shockproof

it's red thick rasberry syrup stuff. it's called redline heavy shock proof http://www.redlineoil.com/products_gearlubricants.asp?productID=44&subCategoryID=16&categoryID=6 the heavy one.
