Hi,

Installed a set of KW Variant 3 coilovers on the EVO X, courtesy of FIA (thanks Sammy and crew). Will post more pics later once I put the new wheels on. Will also write reviews on these in about a week.

Did you need a spring compressor to get the top hats off the stock struts?

i have no clue mate. I was playing warcraft at sammy's shop while they were doing the install. Leveled twiced in warcraft :)

I'll be in and out of Sammy's shop (FIA) over the next few weeks and also various shops in the bay area. Anyone is welcome to take the car for a test drive.

Do you know if these coilovers enhance the .99 g in the skidpad test, due to the lowered stance?

the butt dyno and the overuse of my "oh shit handle" on the passenger side is telling me yes.

Nebo,

The car looks great without wheels!!!!!!!! I think the EVO X looks incredibly better lowered (your car is pretty damn low though).

your EVO X reminded me of a friend's car back in the day... He rented a grinder and cut his springs in half in his own garage and thought it was cool. It looked badass, but after a week, his shocks started to leak, and it was game over.

Nice , I had sammy and Robi figure out a new spring rate for me, want to see if they work out. I wil post a review after i get a chance to have fia install them. Has anyone had a chance to do any porting on these yet? I was thinking about crucial porting some stuff for me.

I hope you get it straightened out soon then. The ZR+520's look very slick and with the correct size and stance I think they would look very clean on a white evo.
