Default EVO Upright Kit for Sale

I have a complete EVO upright kit that I have finally decided to sell. I need the money more than the bumpsteer correction

100% new including the tie rods and wheel bearings. Wheel bearings installed into the castings already.

$1300.00 OBO

I'll give it some thought

This is the BEST mod. Never mind the bumpsteer issue, the ability to drive over anything larger than a matchbook without jarring your teeth loose is worth every penny on a lowered car.

That's a good price. If you notice your steering wheel jump around in your hands going over bumps this kit will reduce that. On bumpy tracks your car feels more stable and tracks better through corners if your ride height is really low. This mod and sparco tide gloves=

Ok here goes as best I can.
Hands up all of us that have lowered their cars? I mean REALLY low.



Now, most of us have just adjusted the spring perches to do so. This does two things:
1. It compresses the springs, reducing the amount of shock travel. This causes a jarring ride whenever the shocks bottom out as they have less available travel.

2. It changes the angles of the suspension tie rods, which causes the so called bump steering effect when cornering and going over a bump as the car tries to steer or change direction due to the geometry changing.

The RS setup raises the spindles, and has different tie rods which lowers the car without altering the amount of suspension travel available and keeping the geometry the same.

It is realllllly comfortable having all of your suspension travel back.
