Holy Moley, what a thread



Anyways...Im pretty sold on the EVO (this thread just reinforced my thoughts). Off the lot no suspension mods are needed is the major factor for me. My wagon with konis and prodrives couldnt even compare to the 8 and 9 I drove. I wouldnt want to buy an STi and have to put a swaybar and springs on it (plus power mods).

Nice choice! I suggest going to veracom in san mateo or capitol for a good deal

I got mine for 31k OTD at capitol talking directly with the fleet manager. Veracom has some sweet deals as well

I wish I had a suby wagon though for tahoe duty =P
