New Mitsu Dealership?

Just walked pass what was Cutter Chevrolet on Kapiolani...saw a Yellow EVO8 up on the stands...thought nothing of it...then I noticed that there were very few cars on the lots...then noticed most in the new area were other Mitsu's...then noticed 2 other EVO8's...

hmmm...interesting...

yes...wife approved...

Happy Birthday by the way Chucky...stay safe!

Prodrives are nice...almost a stock feeling really...not as tall in the front...

For the low riders...this spring will not drop your car like an S-Tech...

Now that I have gotten use to them...I can feel more roll now than my TEIN's...with the TEIN's dialed in at 6 front and 4 rear...the car hugged the road like glue without hardly any rolling...I do miss that but at least my wife will ride in my car now...


Which Mitsubishi Dealer is it?

The same dealership u saw... I thought it is a mitsu dealer too... but they were surrounded by chevys. Cool. 6 in the front, and 4 in the back... will take notes on the settings. Brent, you have the EDFC right... you can change the stiffness tho... still your wife think it's too stiff? Heh...

Yeah...

even on the softest setting...she made comments...but then again, she is used to riding in her Honda Pilot...kind of floaty...

I use to have three setting on my EDFC...

16f/16r (softest setting)...rarely used this

6f/4r (stiffer in the rear) for more oversteer...used this for 90% of my driving

2f/1r (almost no deflection)...used this when I wanted to pee blood in the morning...heh heh...nah, this setting is nice when driving the car with some spirit up and down pali or like like...no speeding of course...

So Chuck are you going to pick some coilovers up? Which ones? I think you have the perrins right?

Yeah, I like my setup right now... I have Perrin springs, STi control arms and ALK in the front... (don't know if that will pass recon) and the handling is quite good. I'll probably pick up Roy's Tein and add the EDFC later on.

I thought about Prodrive in the very beginning too but the drop wasn't that much (since WRX struts are 3/4 in. higher than STi's) but I don't want Tein cuz it's really slam in the front so I went w/ Perrin.
