No camber plates....

We are trying to dig up some images...

We were told by KW that the Ralliart coilovers in Europe were made by KW... We should be getting some more info soon about this.. we are working on it right now!


Finally.. Bilstein has made the PSS9 for Evo!
$1699
(plus shipping)

BILSTEIN PSS9
– PERFORMANCE SUSPENSION SYSTEM WITH 9 DAMPING ADJUSTMENTS is the “race inspired” fully adjustable ride height system featuring mono-tube gas shock absorbers with nine precise damping adjustments. The system includes adjustable mono-tube gas shock absorbers with nine precise compression and rebound settings from comfort to competition, and progressive rate springs which allow accurate adjustment of vehicle ride height and center of gravity for the level of performance you seek.

F/R spring rates are 9k/6k? I am wonder how balance are these rate since the stock Evo has heavier springs at the rear than the front. From the picture, it looks like it is linear spring in the front and progressive at teh rear, is it true?

So 6k at the rear may be translated to heavier spring rate when pushed harder?

Here are the installation instructions from the KW Website. They list the spring rates as 515/340 lbs/in.

Robert Fuller installed these on a clients car, and said they were great. Some of the best coilovers out there for $2000. They have a long length and allow for pretty good suspension travel. Leave these and go to DMS's at $5000.
