that was a 35R stock bottom end car, who knows if the tune was crazy or not. probably had way too much timing at peak torque. that = bang if the rods arent up to the load ---

> [@ErnGotti"](#): > > Yeah but that power isnt practical. That car cant be daily driven. It WILL grenade. I can show you links to numerous cars that breached 400whp and blew out the bottom end. They just started throwing parts at the car and didnt fortify it. Maybe piston, rods and bearings would do the trick, youre right. But 740wheel is far too much for regular use. your a idiot. ---

If I had an Evo X, I would not touch the suspension. You would be dumb to do so (WHICH YOU ARE) unless you had multiple years of professional racing under your belt and actually knew what you we doing (WHICH YOU DON’T, AT ALL). It pulls 1.0g on the skidpad COMPLETELY STOCK!!! Why fuck with that? ---

I don’t get why people buy these nice cars and then ruin them with cheap suspension mods/rimz/bullshit. Why not keep it STOCK appearing, and then tune it or do whatever you need to do to make it move on out. Nobody is impressed with your tailpipe or cheap aftermarket wheels. In fact, you just look like a retard who wants to fit in with the FnF crowd. Dopes. ---

Then why do they make coilovers for it? Im thinkin either TeIn or HKS HyperMaxx not some cheap shit. And I may not do that. I may get the OEM BBS EvoMR wheels and put 255s on them. Im not that far yet. ---

Ernie there is more to suspension than swapping in coilovers especially with cars that are actually set up to perform from the factory. ---

usually means the bottom of the strut does the dampening… there should be a rod coming out of the bottom that looks like the top of a normal strut ---
