I had a good chance last night to really burn a few packs in the EVO II. I made a few suspension changes that really worked good for me.

Front: Stock mounting positions
Yellow (medium spring)
60wt oil
2 hole pistons

Rear: Stock as well
White (Ex hard spring)
40wt oil
2 hole pistons

Adding a stiffer rear spring gives the front end more traction, and livens up the streering considerably. It does make the car twitchy, but manageable. I did notice the car wanting to wander to the right when excelerating hard, must be the shaft drive bias everyones been talking about. I'm planning on getting rid of the front one-way since I couldnt stop hard without spinning out, other drivers could out brake me, and cut underneath me. Also I'm going to try the Ta04R front C hub with the torque bar that attaches to the top of the steering posts to see if stiffening the front hub area will help any.
Otherwise car has handled a few run ins with the boards, and no broken parts yet.
