edit: sorry its a blitz. good luck with ur car.

Nice car dude

Look into swift or gtworx springs, the work very well with the oem bilstiens. Way cheaper than coilovers too

Also a blox front roll stopper will make a big difference for cheap

Looking good, man; good luck with it. I'd say skip the Mishimoto rad, there's way better stuff out there like Griffin that comes years of reputation and parts that actually fit. I've put two different Mishi rads in two of my cars and if I could go back, I'd pass on them all together.

Any other more in depth reasons why out of curiosity?

Blox roll stopper for $50 is a great piece to get
Swift SpecR's for the OEM bilsteins are awesome as well especially for the price. Most people wouldn't even be able to fully use them to their potential. Give a nice ride height & great performance for a fraction of the cost of coilovers.
Get a manual boost controller, megan downpipe (another great bang for the buck), your choice of catback, then get a tune. Car will easily make 300whp & be a blast to drive for no money at all.

Good luck with it man, i'm still shocked i've never seen you in the area i have family in Southampton & Warminster.

i hope you were careful when you bought that car. that dealership does some shady things and they overprice EVERYTHING (yes i bought my car there but i got a deal i couldn't resist). That dealership is two min from my house and they have evo's and sti's lined up like that every day of the week. good luck with the car.

bugeye1257 06-08-2010 04:50 PM

just saw you drive by my house around 4ish, i dont think you saw me. i heard you coming all the way down spencer, sounds nice

Good thing it's not a DSM eh?

I'm no EVO expert but if it has Bilstein dampers from the factory like people are saying (I thought they were only on the MR?) you'd be downgrading by buying Tein crap.

yeah it had less than 18,000 miles on it which I think is great for an '06. Yeah when I first saw it I thought it was a little off. We drove down this big strip with car dealers left and right and then we see this little sign, but they were good people.

TalonTsi97 06-08-2010 05:59 PM

This an MR SE or a SE? 5spd/6spd? It may not have Bilstein's if its not an MR. If so don't go with tein crap.

morla 06-08-2010 06:31 PM

It's an SE 5 Speed. I'm pretty sure I want to do coilovers. Adjustable height would be nice.

TalonTsi97 06-08-2010 06:43 PM

SE 5spd is where its at, a shame they didn't come with the Bilsteins though. Your choice on the coilovers i just personally think its a waste unless you plan to consistently race the car. How often are you actually going to adjust the height? This whole 'stance' thing isn't rite for an evo.

Evojm27 06-08-2010 06:53 PM

nice car man if your looking for some coilovers look into getting teso coilovers ive read alot of reviews and they are super cheap im getting them for my mr as soon as the cash flow is rite....by the way awesome pickup man

What kind of tein 'crap' do you have on yours? I really am trying to beef up the stance a bit
