I have an Evo 6 and i am currantly on the look out for some new rims.

I want 9x18 but i want to run Toyo R888's

Question: what offset would i need to run these wheels and tyres without rubbing the front arches?

I am willing to trim the rear trim !

I want the fat look:D

Many thanks

Per AMS to seat the pads I did a 30mph - 0, 60mph - 0 and 90mph - 0.

I get back and my rotors look like this. I don't tink this is normal is it?

This is one of the few subjects that doesn't seem to have a lot of info on this board.

I've got an 06 Evo IX with a Megan 3" DP (new style for ACD, no flex coupling). Best I can tell from scanning search posts, the RMR underbrace is the only one folks have indicated really has much extra clearance over OEM. My OEM one is buzzing making me nuts :helpme:

What about the Tanabe? Cusco? Works? etc. What have you guys tried that works with 3" DP's?

We should really have this info in a sticky since it is something I'm sure most Evo owners have run into. ]]> JDavenport http://forums.evolutionm.net/evo-tires-wheels-brakes-suspension-sponsored-tire-rack/459254-lower-braces.html http://forums.evolutionm.net/evo-tires-wheels-brakes-suspension-sponsored-tire-rack/459117-summer-tire-question.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 01:35:31 GMT I know that it is dangerous to drive the stock advans in the winter/snow.

I know ABS is great and all but I've personally had problems with it in the ice and snow engaging a little too much. ]]> JohnDoe1984 http://forums.evolutionm.net/evo-tires-wheels-brakes-suspension-sponsored-tire-rack/458917-winter-abs.html http://forums.evolutionm.net/evo-tires-wheels-brakes-suspension-sponsored-tire-rack/458838-evo-mr-eibachs.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 18:33:11 GMT I have an evo ix mr and want to get lowering springs. I want to keep the stock blisteins. I hope this isn't a repost, I found one thread on mr loweing but it was 05 and I wasn't sure if its the same. But what I got out of it was to get the works or swift lowering springs. What about eibach sportlines? Also what about camber will just a alighment do the job or will I need to buy something else?

Anyway, through my car on the alignment rack and my rear camber was at 2° and toe was at nearly 3°. I was able to adjust camber to 0°3'* and toe at 1°50'*. Camber is out of spec a bit and toe is way out. I do have some bent parts somewhere, I'm thinking the lower control arm.

But to get to my question... Can that much toe out and off camber cause the rear end to "float?" When I was on my way home, I made left to right quick turns, just to verify the cars reaction. Rear end feels like it floats. Could my current alignment be the verdict? ]]> cassidyb http://forums.evolutionm.net/evo-tires-wheels-brakes-suspension-sponsored-tire-rack/458744-alignment-bt-too-much-positive-camber.html http://forums.evolutionm.net/evo-tires-wheels-brakes-suspension-sponsored-tire-rack/458701-should-i-revalve.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 01:23:31 GMT my bilsteins have around 20k on them, springs got 5k. wondering if the stock valving is good, or if i would benifit from swaping my gtworx springs to swift spec r's that are made for the mr struts. + they are a little lower.( i have to send a strut to bilstein to get a new tube installed b.c of a bad camber plate. it snapped off the top nut)

now my concern was that since i am only dropped on springs i dont have the availabilty to run negative camber, is negative camber needed?

and the size tire i have is 255

can you run these with springs? i have H & R Springs

thank you guys! inputs would be nice and generous!

I was just gonna swap out my sway bar, and as i was removing my old one i was having some difficulty. I completely unbolted it from the car, but when I tried to remove it, it either got stuck on the suspension components above, or the exhaust below. I know it should be way easier, so I must be doing something wrong.

Has anyone for rally cross or fun in the snow removed their front sway bar? What were the results?

For now I am trying to increase the front grip without changing my factory suspension...
