Okay most of you are probably annoyed with me already, but knowledge is the key to success. So deal with it. :mrgreen:

Make an Evo look-a-like with evo suspention .
The idea Vs The Problem.

First the Idea
Wide body kit Evo 6 by Accolade with Tomme Makinen Front bumper
106638276_225.jpg

Fast n Furious rear spoiler from green car paul walker drives but 3 "shourter in heigh
(this i have no say is what the GF wants)

For looks this about covers it until she finishes her sketches on how the vinyl/paint should look
(there is about 60 pages of what she calls crappy idea :S)

Next we have hardware/software
Engine (N/A to broke)

Interior;
Black and red Suede <Fading so were working this out
dynamatting whole car (boot and doors done)
Riccardo semi bucket seats with evo rear seats (likes the design with center holster)
blue under dash lights and under rear seats (essentially floor wells light up) with red bulbs behind dash to light gages
New carpet in Red Thick Suede with sown in floor mats

Running Gear;
Tien front/rear "Evo mounts" Suspension (layby so to late now) :think:
Brembo 260mm Rotors and Calipers to fit under 17" rims Give or take, plus 2/4 piston.
After market trailing arms etc. something in the liks of these images
AP_Control_Arms_Rear_STI_08__1__75424_zoom.jpg

Upper and lower if applicable* this is the problem
Hubs to be 5 stud after swap out


So all 4 wheels will be running Evo suspension This is the Idea.

The dream is a Evo Hybrid Show car :) <- dont knock it, Dont tell me or the missus to buy a evo, not everyone has 15K+ to spend out rite then spend money to build apon it OKAY!, we only have a few thousand every month or so to spend, so we are building a hybrid, dont like it, dont comment :lolno:

The Problem;
and some of these will already be covered.
The idea i have so far from all the nice people in chat is Get proton trailing arm, knuckles, lines, upper/lower trailing arms, calipers/rotors etc...
This is all well and good, BUT!

Keep this simplified. i dont need to know about 4x110 or 5x113.3 etc.. that gets covered when we buy rims to suit the upgrade ncluding offsets to make everything flush.

Just keep it simple like "yes you can do this but dont forget this" or "you may need to get it fabricated as it wont fit but do this instead as it's easier"

OK so for the Suspension the front of the car is bent, it had a stack a few years ago and no matter how it is tuned by what ever business it shakes a little
so we are wanting to Put an EVO front end and rear end in the car for two+1 reasons

1.) Future proof the suspension for another 10 years
2.) Safety
3.) It's Evo its synonymous with Quality :thumbup:

so what i need to know in the most simple terms is;

Are there after market evo 5/6 parts that bolt on as a CE replacement and what parts "exactly" will i need.
Something like this aftermarket kit.
TrailingArm.jpg

We prefer "NEW" but not a big deal

So far i assume i will need to buy.
Front and rear After market lower/upper trail arms. if available and what ones will fit.
front and rear knuckles that will fit for the required goal.
Uper and lower Control arms tie rods etc..
(rear knuckles im sure cant be used from a evo cause of the rear drive shaft's correct?)
front rear Evo 5/6 hubs 5 Stud if not already on it.
Cables
Brake booster 1"+

Anything else i may be missing.
Images would be much appreciated even links for exactly what to buy would be even better :)

So far i have figured the Knuckles allow the Trail arms and the calipers/rotors to bolt together then bolt wheel on

CAR>Suspension>Upper/lower trail arms>Knuckle>rotors>calipers>wheels <-??

I dont have money to waste so it has to be done rite first time. <Do not troll this comment Skippy, for some reason i think you would :lol:

GOAL;
Evo front and rear suspension
remembering evo suspension is on layby. so they have to beable to mount up.
 
i would suggest checking out mirage performance forum there are plenty of great cars getting loads of info - the cars over there are called mirages 5g
 
What you you mean, Tein "EVO MOUNTS"??

Secondly, Brembos dont come. in 260mm. Pick a new size.

Whats a Riccardo seat?

LLT sells aftermarket aluminium trailing arms.

What part of your curent suspension is bent?

The suspension we brought is for an evo 6.

this is the idea, like i said sorted out laters

Whats a Riccardo seat?

reccaro <- seems my browser auto corrects me.

LLT sells aftermarket aluminium trailing arms.

you have a link?

Everything, they said we need a new front end cause everything is bent, been checked by beau repairs and bobjane. hence the Issues to get this conversion done :)
 
you know beau repairs and bobjane u dont need to be qualified in anything exept for tyre fitting aye? i would take it to someone who knows a bit more than tyres lol
 
why does it matter if its bent? you'll still get 10 years out of it. not that you will own the car for the next 10 years
 
estimate 5K for whole setup vs 30K for an evo? that apply parts to that, yeah fukk off mate. im not loaded. this is the easiest way for us
 
all i understand from this thread is.

1. your gf has horrible taste in spoilers,
2. that you basically want a 5 stud conversion.

so source some fto parts. look at morels thread for info.
 
Fair enough. Have a look on ebay atm, theres a full seats set from an evo 6 interior up atm at like 450, which is damn cheap. Ha im 18, i definately cant argue about money...i have none

calm down!

you know those control arms you linked before that you wanted to buy where $1140. and that was just the control arms. Good luck doing the whole swap for 5K.
 
Just noting I have seen this thread and will reread/reply tonight...


Why Evo suspension though?

Coilovers are coilovers really. The rear lower mounts will be different but Evo ones won't fit anyway.

Brembos? Easy, FTO rear arms and genuine evo6.5 front lca's for brembos.
