Just say NO to crappy suspension for your EVO. Ohlins, JRZ, AST, KW, Swift, Whiteline

[GTWORX.com]

This is gonna be a little different than our usual for sale threads. I'm only gonna list a few things here and there. If you want a full set-up, it's much better to call or PM us so we can work with you on options and put together a package that fits YOU.

We're suspension guys. We want to be the fastest when we compete in auto-x, time attack, and wheel to wheel racing. Power is nice, but handling and grip is a lot harder to dial in and where more time is found.

And we try to do it while maintaining good ride quality. Because we've learned that crappy ride quality is a sign of a crappy shock and crappy handling. Even time trial cars with 700 lbs/in springs can still feel smooth. We've also learned that 90% of the suspension options out there are indeed....crap.

We can set you up with the best solution for your specific uses. Custom rates, custom valving if it's needed. JRZ, Ohlins, AST, KW, Bilstein. Swift springs. Whiteline swaybars and bushings. You really don't need to bother with anything else.

So if you want grip, give us a call or send me a PM.

We have a ridiculous deal on Ohlins DFV Sportline for EVO X. Please PM. Very limited quantity, so do it now. DO IT NOW!!

Basically, if you want to compete and win....you get JRZ. We share shop space with Bryan of JRZ and get to watch him rebuild and revalve Porsche race shocks all day. The level of service is incredible and we're very fortunate to be able to work with him and learn more about shocks in the process.

Please call for more information. These shocks are custom built to order and are the ULTIMATE in suspension engineering for your EVO.

JRZ RS Double Adjsutable


JRZ RS PRO Double Adjustable

The Vorshlag guys are doing some great work developing the AST 5000 series dampers for the EVO X. Beefy, inverted front struts, remote canisters, custom built to order.

KW Variant 3. Great value for the EVO X owner who wants a track worthy shock that offers double adjustable damping and solid spring rates at a good price. We have tons of experience with KW and can help dial them in.

Please call or PM.

Andrew's top 5 things to look for in a coilover

1. A solid US presence from the manufacturer. Can you have them rebuilt quickly and easily without sending them to China, Japan, Germany, Afghanistan, etc.?

2. Spring rates. If a manufacturer puts softer springs in the rear for the EVO....it's a good sign they don't know what they are doing. Seriously big red flags should go up if they do this.

3. Can you get someone on the phone to talk to you about the shock and how to adjust? How about good alignment settings? How about being able to do that on the weekend when you're at the track?

4. Damper travel. You can't soak up mid-corner bumps (or potholes) if you only have an inch of travel before hitting the bumpstops. Lots of coilovers are like this unfortunately. Separate ride height and preload adjustment is nice, but if you have hardly any travel to start with....sorry....you're gonna have some trouble.

5. Valving. The hardest to see and the hardest to evaluate. Shock dyno plots are helpful but can be difficult to understand and not always available. Can the vendor explain how the shock will feel and the reasoning behind the valving?

Remember....a kidney crunching ride is NOT always fast.
