In keeping with stock aero rules, there’s not a ton to do on the Evo. As the clubs I plan on competing with (smartly) allow any stock aero/body, as in JDM or EDM, an obvious one is the JDM rear bumper for the Evo, which, for the Evo 9, looks much better than the chunky…
Purchased some coilover covers for the Evo from ECS Tuning. These were about a perfect fit on the Ohlins, stretching from the top of the coil to the bottom of the spring perch. I’ll likely remove them for racing, but keep them on during other times I’m driving the car. Doing my best to keep…
