    http://www.evo.co.uk/news/evospyshots/2 ... us_rs.html ...and I want one already. Yes, too heavy, forced induction, blah blah blah but it's going to have over 300bhp and weigh less than an EVO X, it will rock. I feel sorry for all those poor sods in their ST's with Wolf and GGR kits...

    Trophy suspension settings

    Can anyone tell me the correct suspension settings for a trophy. F/R toe, Camber etc as I'd like to check all the settings on my car. I suspect the 60% worn tyres are contributing to the torquesteer, but would like to check before replacing them. Note that 7MAT seems to have increased...
